If you game over to Heartless yes

Any other enemy type, no

Nobodies are the bodies and souls of strong willed individuals who became Heartless.

Destroy the Heartless and Nobody, and the original person is recompleted

What about the people who weren't strong willed?

They’re basically dead. Once their heart is released from the Heartless, it goes on to whatever afterlife there is

Kingdom Hearts, if you will

Nooo

The person returns

You don't need to produce a Nobody to return from being a heartless

Creating a Nobody complicates the process

Releasing a heart from a heartless will return that person somewhere

You sure about that? There was no sign that the hearts being collected by Xemnas were going to reform into anyone.

Yes because it's been stated plenty of times releasing the heart is enough to return the person, Nomura specifies in an interview Nobodies are the complicating factor. The KH that Xemnas made also resulted in exceptional circumstances as stated by Nomura too

Well, I guess the takeaway here is that actually dying in KH is not an easy thing

It's more a vast majority of characters haven't been outright killed

In fact, some of them have been replicated lol

Replicas are another beast entirely

And data

You missed our discussion the other day on just how many Soras there are

Did we ever figure out how many there were?

found this dumb thing i made ages ago for people still confusing death for becoming a heartless lmao

My answer was essentially ‘how do you define a Sora?’ because there are so many characters that have bits of Sora in them.

there's only like

three Sora Soras

Sora
Data-Sora
Data-Sora 2

then it depends do you could xion and roxas as being Sora's (if you do thats mean to their individual character arcs smh)

So by that logic, there are more Rikus than Sora's right?

This conversation hurt my brain enough the first time around

do you count jiminy's journal as a riku

otherwise it's just like two

yeah

it also depends on if you even count the Limit Cut Data-Sora as it's own entity

which is like

pushing things imho

so there's only two Sora Sora's
and there's two Riku Riku's, three if you count Jiminy's Journal as a Riku

Riku, Repliku (Dark-Riku is also just Repliku again so he doesn't count as seperate), Jiminy's Journal

There's like different tiers of "strong-willed" in kh
1. you just die and go to the afterlife.
2. You die by a heartless and just become a heartless and nobody.
3. You have a strong connection to someone whether it's hatred or loved and become a physical possesion of some item.

Correct the bits I'm wrong, if so

Where does the third one come into play?
