I all of the sudden wanted to type a post about this! aoithu9we3g8w73t DANG IT SE & DISNEY,WHY COULDN'T IT BE A ROMANTIC ONE INSTEAD OF A VERY FRIENDLY RELATIONSHIP! I mean really,their just teasing you!!!! Its like 99% friendly,and the other 1% romantic! I just would have LOVED to see a romantic relationship between them! But nooooo they just HAD to tease you with the two scenes that come to the top of my head,the one where Sora turns back from a heartless back to human via Kairi in KH 1,and in KH 2 when they get reunited in the World That Never Was! And yes,those two scenes make up that 1%.I just REALLY hope they make it a romanic relationship in KH III,it can be 80% friendly and 20% romantic I don't CARE,at LEAST 10% romantic! OR EVEN A TEASE WOULD BE FINE!!!!!! ANYWAYS,we can only hope it will be a more romantic relationship in KH III!

HE'S BI!!!!!!!!

 

Thats better than nothing i guess

who says hes thinking of kairi?

naw kairi was kidnaped and possibly rhaped for all he knows, sora knows rikus alive cuz the paopu remember? http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eb5i1DPkWA

 

No.....and No....and finally NO.... and as for 'raped" thats not something to be joked about or infering for sh*ts and giggles

=.= why the hell are you thinking im laughing

I still say they're together in the games, but they just don't tell the fans. LOL. Lines like these (and other things) make the pairing so obvious:

 

"Kairi, I know you. You're that girl he likes."-Roxas.

 

"We never met. I was never Sora's friend."-Naminé "And you were never anything more, either."-Sora (keep in mind he pretty much thought Naminé was Kairi in CoM).

 

"Is she that important to you?"-Saïx. "Yeah, more than anything."-Sora

 

"I'll take you to see Sora. You don't want that?"-Saïx "I do. More than anything."-Kairi

 

"Think Sora. Just one more time about who's most special to you."-Naminé.

 

"To Sora, she's someone very special."-Riku

 

I could go on and on (and have in the past), but I won't this time. Honestly, it's the only pairing in the game that can be argued as canon. I really think it's Nomura's lack of interest in pairings (and him not wanting to discourage people that like other pairings) that makes it unofficial.

 

I will forever view them as a couple or in love, however. And I really hope we see their relationship progress one day. It would make them seem more realistic. They are teenagers, after all.

 

Edit: And I have to say the scene that always sold it the most for me is when Sora pretty much kills himself to bring Kairi back to life. And then when he sees her awaken, he offers her one last smile before he fades away.

 

THIS. And the whole storyline to Chain of Memories. And the fact that Sora's memories of Kairi were the really important ones that had gone missing in 358/2 Days. Even the scene between them in Blank Points hinted a little. And especially the scene at the very end of KH1, with the drawing in the cave. I really don't see how people can just ignore that. http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/sleep.png

You know, if it weren't for Disney a group of old males with no girls in the castle would, erm, use a bit of "fun". And since there's no law in the Kh universe that says otherwise....

Thats just a rediculous thing to say period and Offensive but carry on

Really i dont have a problem with anyone being gay.I just dont think Sora and Riku are a couple

think about it besides larxine "however you spell it" and she died already none of the GROWN MEN in the orginization have gotten any tail in at least a year, probly longer uz larx's personality. unless you beleive in that orgization yaoi parings that are, funny, disturbing and overall probobly true

 

shall i post a video of it? 8D

 

ifi get 3 likes ill do it >

Really i dont have a problem with anyone being gay.I just dont think Sora and Riku are a couple

 

Actually I was referring to Kairi being abused but that's fine too

Eh, I think they're just waiting for the right time. I mean, it's practically confirmed that Sora cares about Kairi above all other people, and vice versa. They're only 14 in the first kingdom hearts, and now only 15. They have time to develop a real relationship. Even though I put it in a fanfic of mine, I actually sort of get a sick feeling when I think of Sora and Kairi actually doing anything together, even holding hands for a prolonged period of time.

And SoraxRiku...no. They're like brothers. I'm pretty sure that scene where Sora knelt down like that was making up for before when he kind of said "Oh well, he's fine" and thus Riku turned to the darkness. "See RIku? See how much I appreciate you!? DON'T TURN EVIL AND TRY TO KILL ME AGAIN!!!"

Also, think about it: Although Kairi was kidnapped, Kairi in trouble is nothing really new at this point. He was more or less convinced that she was more or less okay. RIku, the last time he saw him, had been shut on the other side of the door to darkness after being possessed by Ansem and trying to kill him. Sora had no idea what the heck could have happened to him.

I still say they're together in the games, but they just don't tell the fans. LOL. Lines like these (and other things) make the pairing so obvious:

WOW... nice summerization! I forgot about all of those quotes!

They grew up together from the time they were little. That doesnt mean they are gay.They are like brothers if anything.Plus, there are several times in the games where Sora looks sad seeing romantic pairings and thinks of Kairi.. Even Donald says' i bet i know who you are thinking of"

 

WOW,I completely forgot about that scene!

THIS. And the whole storyline to Chain of Memories. And the fact that Sora's memories of Kairi were the really important ones that had gone missing in 358/2 Days.

I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THAT SCENE TOO!

 

 

Man,I really created a buzz didn't I lol.Thank goodness I created this topic!

"Honestly, I don't care who loves whom. I think you could imagine the scenerios that we don't mention however you want to. You could enjoy talking about that with friends."

~Tetsuya Nomura

 

tl;dr no KH pairing will ever be canon.

Also sora didnt cry hysterically when he saw kairi but when he saw riku he nearly died

 

Everyone always says this... but I never, ever, ever, ever get the impression that he's gay.

 

I mean--think about it. Sora has been looking for Riku for over a year now. Sora KNOWS Kairi is safe in Destiny Island. He doesn't have to worry about her. When he finds out that Kairi got recaptured like... a few hours before he found her again--not much time to worry. Especially when Axel gave him a direct direction as to where she is. Sora--in KHII--never ran around looking for Kairi, because he knew she's going to be okay. He hasn't heard a word about Riku in over a year.

 

If it was me, and I had two friends, one that I knew was safe and fine, maybe got lost but found them not that long later, I wouldn't cry when I saw them again. I would just feel relieved.

 

But if I had another friend, who was going down a really wrong path, found direction, turned good, and disappeared without any real word for over a year, I would be really worried! And would cry once I found them, and finally knew that they were indeed safe.

 

THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE!!!

Ok ? no one will ever actually know if sora is gay it hasnt been proven nor denied

Thats just a rediculous thing to say period and Offensive but carry on

 

 

 

Really i dont have a problem with anyone being gay.I just dont think Sora and Riku are a couple

 

I thought you were refering to my original point ..but to address what you are saying..in the KH universe there isnt any sex so rape is not gonna be a factor..

Edited March 14, 201213 yr by axel_lea_lives_on

tutti frutti. From my perspective, I can't really say that Sora and Kairi have really had time to state that they wanted to be in a relationship, much less know what they felt about each other past friendship. Riku was gone, with Sora knowing little to nothing about what happened to him, at least from Sora's perspective Riku could have been dead. Do I think that there should be more of a relationship between the two? Yes. I believe that relationships in the series would be a great way for character developement. Much like a couple others have stated, Kairi doesn't really seem to be that much of a developed characters outside of a damsel in distress. I hope that Square does more with that.

LOL. Even though I'm not in the mood to pull out all the Sora and Kairi hints to defend my pairing (like I have in the past), here seems as good a place as any to give a comedic reason as to why they're together.

 

They're obviously together because Square can't do romance to save their life. (Note I am NOT insulting Square-Enix in any way. I have a bajillion favorite pairings from them. Below is mostly a joke, but there are some things that do make you wonder.)

 

1. Zack and Aerith were actually supposed to be a couple in Crisis Core (and I think they were). In VII, Aerith said he was her boyfriend and first love. And, yet, they acted less couple like than many of the pairings that aren't official. They acted like they had school yard crushes, actually. And they were supposed to be official. Honestly, there are more SoKai hints then there were ZaErith moments in CC.

 

2. Serah refers to Snow in XIII-2 (who she's engaged to marry) as a "friend". Yeah, enough said. Not to mention Square could have had Snow/Serah together in the present for once in XIII-2 (when they were unable to have anything other than flashbacks in XIII), but instead they chose to make Snow a cameo, and have Serah with Noel the entire game.

 

3. Cloud and Tifa (and many pairings like them) can just be mentioned and you'll understand the irritation. In Dissidia Duodecim (at least the English version) he referred to Tifa as a friend when you know they're more than that. In "On the Way to a Smile" Tifa asks Cloud if he loves her, only for him to feign sleep.

 

4. They zoom out when Squall and Rinoa kiss at the end off FFVIII. And when Zidane and Dagger may or may not kiss in FFIX's ending.

 

5. Final Fantasy XII had very little romance. It's sequel, however, Revenant Wings had quite a bit. Vaan and Penelo kiss twice! But they're little chibis you can only tell are kissing by the noise and heart that'shown. They could have made either a pretty FMV like many of the other scenes in the game, but did they? No.

 

6. The good ending in X-2 is better than the perfect ending. Yuna pushes Tidus into the water. What a romantic ending! And they're probably the most couple-ish FF pairing to boot!

 

7. In Dissidia Duodecim, instead of having Vaan and Penelo together (like they were in XII and RW), they have Vaan and Terra hints. A pairing that can never, ever happen, as Dissidia's not really canon, but Square chooses to make Vaan/Penelo fans mad, and Vaan/Terra fans heart broken (at their impossible love) in one go. Dissidia messes with a lot of canon pairings, now that I think about it.

 

Yep. If this doesn't prove SoKai's canon, I don't know what does. Because Square-Enix make beautiful pairings you love, but execute it all wrong (Sora and Kairi's problem is much like Snow and Serah's; they're a couple, but never together).

 

And I'm probably forgetting a lot more of these I'd come up with. Oh well. I hope this got a laugh from some people.

 

In all honesty, love is treated differently in Japan. And I think that's why these pairings seem weird to us. They act a lot more innocent, and don't even tell someone they like them unless they can see themselves marrying them. They just don't date anyone. And a lot of times, they won't even tell someone they like them because they're afraid of ruining their relationships forever. Because love is taken so, so seriously there (or so I've been told). Huh. This also sounds like Sora and Kairi. LOL.

 

Edit: I just thought of one more. KH2 made many people ship Roxas and Nami. However, Days seemed to have hints at Roxas and Xion. This angered many fans who were fans of the RokuNami pairing, and even made some people become RokuShi fans. Even though I'm now a Roxas/Xion fan now, that was kind of annoying. I did like Namixas in KH2, after all.

 

Yeah, Square-Enix and couples... be ready to get annoyed (in some aspects).

"See RIku? See how much I appreciate you!? DON'T TURN EVIL AND TRY TO KILL ME AGAIN!!!"

 

This made me lol

I could accurately argue Sora & Riku have more of a romantic relationship than Sora & Kairi, which is pretty sad.

Its brotherly,not romantic.

Edited March 14, 201213 yr by Matthew

KH3D will probably add more fuel to the SoraXRiku fanbase; the two of them going on a magical journey together into the Sleeping Worlds their your wildest dreams can come true, being seperated but oh-so-close? Yup, KH3D will definately be a SoraRiku game. And Axel/Roxas. Unless Xion plays a significant role, which I don't think she should.

I thought it was quite obvious that disney was going for a romantic couple. Though it hasnt been showcased as much since Sora has been oh i dont know...SAVING THE WORLDS. But the strongest hint of romance i think they give is the end of KH1 when Kairi draws the paopu fruit on the cave wall on Destiny Islands giving one to Sora

I could very easily bust out all of the times that more than hint to Sora and Kairi being in a relationship. Like how about when Kairi say to Sora in KH 1 "How about you and I just take the raft together?" or when Kairi in KH2 is connecting with Roxas and trying to think of Sora. Or how about how Kairi sent Sora the messege in a bottle?

 

The scenes at the very end of KH1 and 2 also show that they are a couple. In KH1 Kairi sees the paopu fruit that Sora drew and she draws another one with her handing it to Sora. KH2's ending shows Sora finally coming home and he looks up at Kairi and they both smile at each other and Sora laughs and Kairi giggles.

 

The entirety of CoM. Sora is trying to rescue Kairi who has been replaced in his memories as Namine and when he finds out what was happening, who is the one memory that can save Sora? Kairi. And when Namine asks if Sora wants to be restored or if he wants to stay there and remember Namine, he chooses to be restored, because he wants to remember Kairi.

 

Xion. Sora's memories of Kairi were SO POWERFUL they shaped the empty shell of Xion into looking like Kairi.

 

There are more things like these, a lot more.

 

Case rested.
