Now that we just have one game to go in the Xehanort Saga, I'd like to take a minute to recount all the times that the number 13 comes up. A lot of them are obvious, but sometimes not so much. In fact, the sheer amount of times it comes up is pretty staggering. And with Mr. Nomura, I can't help but think it's not an accident; especially considering how abundant the Recusant's Sigil has been throughout the series, even though it was only recently revealed.

 

Here's a list of all the ones I'm aware of. Most of them are courtesy of The Keyhole.

• Organization XIII (obviously)
• Thirteen letters in "Kingdom Hearts."
• Thirteen letters total in:
• "Sora + Riku + Kairi"
• "Aqua + Terra + Ventus" _{Thanks Sanmuri, I should check my sources better ^^}
• "Axel + Roxas + Xion"
• "Terra + Xehanort"
• "Ventus and Vanitas" (*This one's a little "iffy")
• "End of the World"
• "Hollow Bastion"
• "Radiant Garden"
• "Light + Darkness"
• In Kingdom Hearts, the last world seen is the 13th
• This is also true of Kingdom Hearts II and Birth by Sleep
• In Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, there are 13 System Sectors
• In the opening movie of Kingdom Hearts the letter "M" in the word "Kingdom" surges towards the screen distinctly, with "M" being the 13th letter in the alphabet.
• There are 13 floors and 13 basements to Castle Oblivion
• If Kingdom Hearts 3 elapses another year, the entire saga from Birth By Sleep to Kingdom Hearts 3 will have been 13 years.

That's all I have right now. The wiki page I linked has more instances, but a lot of them I found to be irrelevant.

 

So, are there any other instances of the number 13 that you've come across?

Kh has 13 letters

13 in the organization

add up riku, sora, kairi and you get 13

... People actually count how many letters KH and the SRK trio have to find any conspiracies? I'm sure those were coincidence, man... This is gonna be the next Half Life 3. -_-

ER MER GERD!
