He’s like the opposite of we usually see Sora too:

Tired, cynical, pessimistic, untrusting

Agreed

Just goes to show Sora can be a very cruel person deep down

He isn't that bad though. You can't blame him since he's all about friendship and protection

Just look how ruthless he is towards Org 13 in KH2

Sora is an outright dick to his enemies

Lmao

 

That's why I can TOTALLY buy the Sora is the MoM theory

 

Literally if you piss off Sora you just painted a bullseye on yourself

True

AND AND AND
Remember how they framed the aftermath of CoM in the Days manga adaptation?

It's like a downer ending of a slasher/horror movie

Props to Amano, he managed to make THESE guys look like mass killers

Akin to Freddy Krueger

Hey Donald knows how to wield an axe. Give him some credit.

Granted that was after he went insane from starvation but my point stands.

Speaking of CoM
That game in general is filled with extensional horror. And there's actually a GOOD number of onscreen deaths to boot

The entire Riku Replica subplot alone is probably one of the darkest things in the entire series

Yup. That's why i like his story in both com and kh3

And Sora has a literal identity crisis

Not to mention Vexen's death right in front of sora's eyes or repliku's death

He literally BEGS Naminé at one point to basically break his heart to save herself.
Even after finding out he had been manipulated the entire time .
And even knowing that he'd become a catatonic puppet like Repliku.

Even Marluxia and Larxene are disturbed by how dedicated he is to this big lie

Yeep

Soooo
Which story is darker then?
CoM, KH2, BBS, or Days?

:^)

Days and com are kind of equal to me

Both equally darker then the rest i mean

Love how Axel leaves to castle oblivion and kills organization members from left to right, then coming back to roxas and xion acting like nothing happend

Yeah
I think the fans (and by extension the games) forgot just how ruthless and scary Axel was

So what have learned? KH is really a series about mental health.

Friendship yeag!!

Tbh Com

Days is just sad lol

They must have taken pointers from FF7 lolololololol

So uhhh

Sora has dissociative identity disorder
Riku is autistic or at least antisocial
Vanitas is DEFINITELY a sociopath
Roxas is clinically depressed
Ven has undiagnosed childhood trauma

I like headcanoning Sora as ADHD too because he stims.

I'm actually working on a script for a video I intend to make one day; relating to this above thread:

Kingdom Hearts and Depression

Or

Kingdom Hearts and Lonliness

A consistent theme in this series is people people lonely and sad- MoM is an aversion to it cause in his own words "sometimes I want to be alone", but, there's a lot of moments of separation, and longing through out the series.
