everyone else getting erased

i'm sure some of them would have an opinion about it

You’d never reach a decision that way

of course

result is, some kid with a giant key disagrees and kills you

Sora is evil

And your opinion was worthless from the beginning

Thus the pointlessness of love continues

Why didn't Xehanort come back in time to save his friends 🤔

so many useless time travel and fighting when one jump was probably enough

Better still why didn’t he just explain that he wanted to save his friends

You're kidding right lmao?

yeah

I mean I've seen some pretty cheap plates- jk lol

Ok good- just had to make sure

he's still one of the only person in kh to actually kill someone

Paradoxes. Can't change the past without causing one

You can only do what you've already done in the past otherwise.

not sure it works that way in kh, with the power of waking and such

Also, why can’t space-time just create another branch to account for that

It does. Sora caused a paradox and payed the price.

2 contradictory histories are happening in his worldline now

The game outright tells us that

Merlin's method also carries the risk of paradoxes

Only Xehanort's methods ensured no paradoxes can occurr.

And Nort or Rikureplica calls Merlin's method out on the risk of paradoxes

That is true. Merlin warned them not to interfere with the past.

okok

Aye. I do wonder if he already knew though how it would go since he can see the future and time travel himself

Wait til the MCU comes in. Then we'll get that

Though its possible it can happen already and maybe has since MOM can potentially see multiple timelines going off Luxu's words in his reports

Since he knew Daybreak Town would be destroyed by Darkness whether the Keyblade War happened or not

He specifically cautioned Donald against this, so my guess is yes lol

Aye

But ya may be right on alt timelines being created via time travel that branch off

since MOM seems to have foreseen the outcomes

so it may be it can be done

But your logic does make sense. Merlin kept the orders simple for a reason: “Go in, seal the door, get out.”

But defo once MCU comes in we'll get those if they use Endgame or beyond it

Nomura may have multiple time travel scenerios be possible later. We;'ll see

HP does that too

Some fictions just have all the theories be able to happen even if they contradict each other

what Luxu referred to as "timelines" turned out to just be different time periods, and the confusion between real and data world didn't help

everyone was still on the same "line"

Merlin's method causes paradoxes if you screw up. Its possible there's another method we don't know that causes MCU type time travel to happen

It’s probably because Merlin’s magic can only access the timeline they’re currently in
