Here's hoping. And it does seem to be the only Dark Keyblade in the series; you're right about that. I imagine that Mickey, being a Keyblade Master, can use any Keyblade. That's probably how he got it out of the RoD. But I still want to see it. LOL.

LOL. I thought you might have, but I decided to answer in case you didn't mean it to be rhetorical.

It's in the Ansem's Reports from the first game. You can also see the quote at the beginning of KH2's Secret Ending. And I knew why Mickey got the Keyblade. LOL. I just always wondered if Kingdom Key D was supposed to choose a wielder like Kingdom Key did.

LOL. I'm just waiting for there to be a Keyblade of Sleep with a bronze blade and Keychain (both the handles of Sora and Mickey's Keyblade have that color in the center), and a blue or red handle (red is from Mickey's; blue is from Sora's). Also, I've always wondered: was the Dark Keyblade supposed to choose someone? Did Mickey get to it before it could? The legend did say, "One legend says its wielder saved the world, while another says that he wrought chaos and ruin upon it." I just always assumed it meant Sora and Xehanort.

Yep. I love that show. If only I could take credit for editing the video. But, sadly, I'm not that clever. It's ehikari014's vid.

To wake him up? They say to pinch yourself to know whether or not you're dreaming. The blunt Kairi seems to have done so for him. But she was a little more extreme about it. LOL.

Yep. I watched the scene a few days ago. And you can, in fact, see it better. Makes me want to edit a video, but I have no time right now. Gah!

I noticed this a LONG time ago. Years, years, and years ago. LOL. But in my defense, I've played the games SO many times, and edited that scene SO many times, it was hard to miss after the millionth time. And I'm always looking for any SoKai touching moments (even if she is slapping him). LOL. Also, in this hilarious video, they spoof that scene. It's 0:39, but I'd reccomend watching the entire vid. It's hilarious.

Really? I thought Nomura said she was "Plan B." For awhile, that was the only important thing going on in her story. I don't think he was taunting her. He actually mumbled that part, but I could be wrong.

While I actually do think this will happen eventually, I don't think it'll be in 3D. First off, it would go against Data Riku reassuring Data Sora that, "The Darkness will never take hold of you." (This is a summarized version of what he said.) So it may happen eventually, but not so shortly after he said that. And also, I don't think there's enough time in the game. They're already taking the Mark of Mastery/traversing through the Realm of Sleep in search of the Key and Keyhole, and they're also going to be looking for the hidden data inside Sora. And in KH3, they'll be too busy saving people and trying to defeat Xehanort. Maybe they could fit it in somewhere, but it would seem like unnecessary filler to me. Unless Xehanort possesses Sora or something. Somewhat off topic, I'd LOVE to see that. Sora and Xehanort are so similar, but yet also so different. They have the whole Harry and Voldermort thing going on. Even their names are similar! "Sora" and "Harry" have about the same number of letters. And "Xehanort" and "Voldermort" both obviously end in "nort:. LOL. And they're both actually bald. LOL. But they really are a lot alike! Both Keyblade wielders, both can use magic, both originally from Destiny Islands, both willingly became Heartless, and both have had two other people's hearts inside them. The list goes on and on. LOL. But they're also so differnet because Xehanort is pretty much pure evil, and Sora (a lot of times) is like Light incarnate. And you know, Xehanort did indirectly make Sora a Keyblade wielder. If he had never extracted Ven's Darkness, his damaged heart would have never needed to go to Sora. It's like how Voldermort unwillingly (and unkowingly) turned Harry into a horcrux! They created their own worst enemies. Yep. Sora and Xehanort are Harry and Voldermort of KH. They even have Dream Eaters in 3D instead of Death Eaters! Okay, now I'm staring to rethink my stance. LOL. Maybe Sora will go bad in seeing how alike they are. I'm forseeing an Order of the Phoenix thing happening where Mickey's like, "Sora, it's not how you're alike. It's how you're different." And Sora will tell Xehanort, "You're the weak one. You'll never know love or friendship, and I feel sorry for you." And I'm done. LOL.

I've always wondered how Aqua's heart stands. She was a backup plan to form the X-Blade, in which she'd need a heart of pure Light. So maybe it's possible, though rare, that normal people CAN have hearts of pure Light? Unless she's an alternate PoH if one dies. LOL. And, I know you're right and that Sora has Darkness in his Heart, but sometimes I like to believe he doesn't. Everyone's always going on about how his heart can touch so many people, no research ever done was as interesting as Sora's heart, that Sora will never let the Darkness get to him. And so on and so forth. And yes, these are supposed to be quotes from the game. I just didn't want to waste time figuring out the exact wording. If you have questions about some of the quotes, feel free to ask. Anyway, if it is possible to have pure Light when you're not a Princess, I wonder if you'd still create a Heartless? Maybe it's just because the Princesses are specially chosen (and have pure Light) that they can't. That would definitely make it seem like Sora's pure Light. But, once again, I know you're right. But if Sora does have Darkness, I wish they'd stop acting like he's the Mesiah in the games.

Ugh. People need to come back to reality. In, many ways, it's usually the fans that make me start hating things I love. I'm sorry this happened to you. I really think people don't have common sense anymore. Sad to say, but I blame amazing vids and fanfictions for this. Even if something amazing happens in them, it doesn't mean that the creator's are going to let it happen. Nor should they. If you have a problem with how people write pairings, write your own story! I think that's really what it boils down to. I think we have a lot of authors out there, but now they don't know to create their own work because there's fanfiction. Fanfiction can be a wonderful help and hindrance. On one hand, it really got me into writing again, helped me improve it, and make amazing friends. But it was also keeping me from writing original work. Because, honestly, we're never going to own the characters we love. But I got over the problem and have written about five of my own novels. They just need s little work, and then I'll try publishing them! I have a published author friend, so that'll be a great help! Anyway, people need to write their own stuff. There's a balance to everything. I still write fanfiction if I get inspired, but I also write my own books. But just because I write or read something in a fanfic, I know enough to realize it's not canon. And never will be. And there's nothing like creating your own world and characters, and guiding them through their story. It's a learning experience and it's so rewarding. And about SoKai... I'll always be rooting for them. When I first played the game when I was nine (an amazing near ten years ago), I thought they were a beautiful couple. I still think that even if they're not "official." And in many ways, they're why I play KH. They just bring back a part of my life and childhood that I love. I'll always play for SoKai. Even if they just stay the way they are now: as best friends that seem to like each other. But I really want them to kiss. LOL.

A million likes. I couldn't have said it better myself. I agree with every aspect of this. Thanks for so eloquently explaining what I was trying to. I mean, I have no trouble with people liking a pairing for fun. But there comes a time, with certain pairings, that you have to recognize canon. And you also have to realize that some characters will never be together. Nor should they. They make absolutely no sense together. I'll never forget the day I was saying I like Shuyin and Lenne from Final Fantasy X-2, and someone snapped at me, "Shuyin belongs with Tifa." And they were serious! OMG. I mean, seriously people? -facepalm- Shuyin and Tifa will never be together! They don't even exist in the same game or universe! *Sigh* Thank you for explaining all of this non harshly. Once again, I couldn't agree more. I have to wonder what people are thinking sometimes... maybe the answer is that they're not thinking at all.

Agreed. I'm highly respecting of people's opinions. And you're right, people should be more civil. That's one of the things that bothers me most about this fandom. You can have a nice, in-depth, logical discussion without being mean. And I do agree with where you're coming from. Except with the yaoi and yuri. I, personally, don't like it. And I don't think Disney would allow it, but I won't argue with you. And I won't belittle you just for having different tastes. Now, on to a topic you said above. You're right about what Nomura said, and I've known that all along. But it actually somewhat bothers me. With anything, there's going to be more hints for one pairing than another. Even if he's not trying to, he's only human and humans have preferences. In that case, I think the pairing should be able to grow. Otherwise, I think he's put a damper on the characters' growth. If your character wants to do something, you should let them. That's how you make a good story. That's how you make it realistic. Even if you don't want couplings, it doesn't matter what you want. It's what your characters want. Because as you write them, they end up with their own mindset. I don't think he's necessarily allowing the characters to be who they are. I think he's letting himself influence them. And in that case, they're not their own people, but another version of himself spewting what he thinks is right. I mean, I get where Nomura's coming from, but you can't please everyone. If you do, you stifle your characters. No one is ever going to agree, but it should be what's best for the story and characters that guide you. I feel like if you write a story conscious of what people will think, you'll never truly be able to write the story that should be told. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but as a writer myself, I think he needs to give the characters more breathing room. Look at Ron and Hermione. So many people hate that pairing (though I prefer them). But in the end, Jo Rowling had to make this decision because it was who her characters were. To have it end another way, would have been untrue to the chracters they'd become. And I'm a sucker for character development. If Nomura's writing it, and the characters are strictly platonic, that's fine. But if there are moments when Riku and Nami want to kiss or something (for example) and he's not allowing them to do so, I think he should stop it. I hope this all makes sense. You can't be afraid to write something just because you don't agree with it. Your characters are not you. And they shouldn't always act or think like you.

I'm not doing this to argue with anyone, but I've always wanted to write out all the hints I could think of. This is the perfect time to do so. LOL. KH1: 1. Sora and Riku competed for Kairi's attention. 2. The drawing Sora and Kairi did when they were four. 3. Sora adding to the drawing in wanting to share a paopu with Kairi. 4. Kairi adding to the drawing. 5. Kairi wants to go on the raft with just Sora. 6. Sora later is thinking about her words. He's looking at a toy boat on his ceiling with two dools in them. Most likely they're supposed to be him and Kairi. 7. Their hearts are connected. Kairi's heart goes into Sora for safekeeping. 8. Sora thinks Yuffie's Kairi. 9. Sora's always talking about Kairi (like how he wants to tell her about flying) and looking for her. It's her that makes him push forward when the Keyblade's been stolen from him. When Donald and Goofy have left. 10. When Sora finds Kairi in Neverland, he reaches his hand out to her. And Kairi, though comatose, wiggles her fingers. 11. Kairi calls to Sora. He sees young Kairi's memory and reaches for her. He always seems to be reaching for her, holding hands with her or something. Also, Sora's, "Forget it. There's no way you're taking Kairi's heart!" When she calls him again. 12. Sora turns into a Heartless to bring Kairi back. 13. Kairi's "strong feelings for Sora" (the journal worded it this way) bring him back. He heard her voice and becomes human again. The way he says, "Kairi, thank you," when they hug, really says it all. You can so tell the feelings from the actors' potrayals at times. 14. "Even when we're apart, we're not alone anymore. Right?"- Sora. "Don't ever forget. Wherever you go, I'm always with you."-Kairi. Sora has Kairi stay behind so she'll be safe. She gives him her lucky charm to get him to come back to her. 15. Riku tell Sora to take care of Kairi. 16. Kairi appears at the End of the World because of the spell Aqua put on Kairi's necklace. (This is actually how she got to the islands. "Someday, when you're in danger, the light within you will lead you to the light of another. Someone to keep you safe.) Sora says, "I'm always with you, too. I'll come back to you. I promise." "I know you will."-Kairi. And then they're seperated. CoM: 17. Sora begins looking at Kairi's lucky charm all the time. 18. Kairi is the "most important person" to Sora (sort of said by the Organization). And Naminé ends up manipulating Sora by making him think she's her. He would have done anything to protect "Naminé". Include having his heart destroyed. 19. But deep down, Sora still remembers Kairi and chooses her. He never forgot the promise, like he said he wouldn't. 20. She is Sora's "light within the darkness." The quote is from Naminé. 21. Also, in the memories that Naminé gave Sora, they were "always together. Inseperable" (said by Sora). And when Sora found out the truth, he said, "And we were never anything more. Either." Hinting he thought they were a couple. These might be hints about Sora and Kairi's own relationship. Days: 22. Xion was effected by Sora. Since Kairi was the most important memory to Sora, she took on her personality and look. 23. "To Sora. Kairi is someone very special."-Riku 24. Once again, the memories of Kairi are the most important ones to Sora. Riku says this when he explains, "The Organization just didn't steal his memories. They made it so they'd be impossible to get back," or something like that. KH2: 25. Sora and Kairi comunicate telepathically through Roxas. Kairi is "that girl he likes."-Roxas. Also, Kairi doesn't deny this. She just says, "Who? Please a name!" 26. Kairi remembers Sora before she probably should. 27. In the Pridelands, Donald tells Sora, "If Kairi could see you now, I bet she'd think you were cute." 28. Kairi plans to go find Sora herself. And goes through the dangerous Corridor of Darkness to do so. When he ends up with HPO and explain things, Olette says, "What a romantic story." 29. Sora had been looking for Riku so they could return to the islands where Kairi was waiting for them, but when he finds out Kairi got kidnapped, he starts acting a lot different. He's depressed, angry (which you clearly see with how he acts at Xehanort's picture and his fight with Demyx). He even blames himself. "Riku, the King, and now I've lost Kairi again, too."-Sora. "Don't be sad."-Donald. "Donald's right, you know. Why, you're the key that connects everything!"-Goofy. "So it's all MY fault."-Sora. 30. Sora becomes hellbent on finding Kairi. And he even postrates himself in front of Saïx and is willing to do anything to find her. She means "more than anything" to him.- Sora. And later, Kairi says the same thing about Sora. He also somehow knows that it was Axel that kidnapped her. 31. In Halloween Town, Sora's worried that he never gave Kairi a real present after all. But Goofy assures him, "As long as she can be with you, what else does she need?" Sora then imagines himself and Kairi dancing instead of Jack and Sally. He also seemed to be imagining himself and Kairi hugging when he saw Will and Elizabeth do so. 32. Also, when Sora gets to TWTNW, he speaks to Kairi even though she's not there. Like with, "Kairi, we're almost there." And he's done it before with things like, "Kairi, give me a little time, okay?" It's actually their connection that creates the bridge to the castle. 33. Kairi is the "fire that feeds Sora's anger."-Saïx. "No. Sora's in danger because of me!"-Kairi. 34. When Sora sees Kairi ("Sora, it's really you!), he's really sidetracked and gets Heartless piled on him. It also happens to Kairi. But she gets her Keyblade and says, "This time, I'll fight." Like how in KH1 she said, "This time, I'll protect you." She wants to protect Sora and be for him what he's been for her. 35. Sora notices that Kairi's grown stronger, and is sorry he never got to come home to her. They then hug. "This is real."-Kairi. Clearly, she'd been imagining this. And in a text bubble she says, "That thalassa charm of reunion really worked! I wanted to see you so badly, Sora. I missed you so much." 36. Sora, despite himself, finds that he has to thank "Xehanort's Heartless" for saving Kairi. She means that much to him. 37. When Ansem's Kingdom Hearts encoder explodes, Sora catches Kairi from falling. 38. Later, when Xemnas is fighting one on one with Sora, it's Kairi's voice that pulls Sora back. 39. Sora promises "They'll be together everyday," when she assures Naminé of that. 40. It's Kairi's letter that causes Sora's heart to open the Door to Light. 41. In the ending, he's running to her and looks as though he might hug or kiss her before he gets tackled. He and Kairi act like two kids in love in this scene. Blank Points: 42. Sora's really upset in having to leave Kairi again. Especially after she'd said in a text bubble, "I'm sick of being left behind. From now on, wherever one of us goes, the other follows." But Kairi is understanding and assuredly gives him her lucky charm again. And she knows she'll see him again. Edit: Coded The Oathkeeper Keyblade upgrades to "Love" and then "Light". Also, in CoM, Goofy says, "Sora always gets this way when he's around a girl." He's most likely referring to Sora's attitude around Kai. Sora's very protective of her. And the Roxas+Xion and/or Roxas+Naminé pairings can be considered that "they're together because they're forms of Sora and Kairi." 　 Anyway, there are other hints, too. Like how they sometimes say and do the exact same things (like how they examine the secret place exactly the same way). In fact, there used to be an amv of all of them. I wish it wouldn't have gotten delted... And there are other things they say, do, and think that give hints. But that's enough for now. LOL. Sorry for how unorderly and confusing this probably is.

Actually, I think it was the opposite. I've seen movies where people look and act the same just as Sora. I think he was so shocked that she'd hug him. She meant so much to him, and he just never thought that would happen. It's more than he expected. The way he wraps his arms around her and seems to nod in doing so seems to say it all. And he even keeps a hand on her shoulder long after they've parted. And as for the Riku thing... try to see it this way: the last time Sora saw Riku, he was getting closed behind the Door to Darkness. And before that they'd been enemies (through Xehanort). In KH2, Sora hadn't a clue what had happened to Riku. There was the fear that Riku might be dead or trapped. And you know Sora was worrying when it seemed Riku was part of the Organization (and might have gone bad again). But to have all three of them reunited for the first time in forever, learning that Riku didn't want to be found and did so much (including losing his look), to help Sora, is what crippled him. I think that it was all of this hitting Sora at once that made him act the way he did. Not just seeing Riku, but having Riku and Kairi back. Even Riku told him to pull it together. KH2 was tough for Sora. There was identity confusion, Roxas effecting him, learning all they did might have been for nothing, Kairi getting kidnapped (in which he blamed himself for). So much went wrong for him. LOL. And also, I think Sora was extremely happy to see Kairi. But he needed to keep his head in the game until they won. KH2's ending far makes up for this. And Sora and Kairi are a bit awkward around each other because they seem to like each other. They just need to talk and get things figured out. Then they'll be perfectly fine. And, in all honesty, if Sora did seem to be ignoring Kairi (and I don't think he was), I think it'd be because she's a flat character. Not because Sora doesn't care for her. I just think she hasn't really developed, and Nomura doesn't know what to do with her. Those are my two cents.

They're totally in love. I could list hint after hint after hint, but I won't do that. The only problem is Nomura doesn't like really doing things with pairings. But after so many games of them fighting to be together, something will have to happen eventually. If not, it would seem really cheap and unrealistic. I, personally, just want to see them kiss once in KH3 or something. It doesn't even have to be this huge elaborate thing (like FFX's). It could be a peck on the lips before Sora goes into battle. Just something to show they're not beating around the bush, and that they're growing up.

Wrong door? What do you mean by that? Do you mean they might open the Door to Light or Darkness by accident? If you're referring to how Ansem phrased it, I don't think there's a "wrong" door. It was probably dubbed that way to fit into the mouth movements or something.

Okay?

That makes sense. Thanks for setting me right. I was just confused because, since Sora's body fades away and is reformed into Roxas, I thought it also could have created Naminé then, too. We never did see them when they were created, and the Reports misled me. Sorry again. And thanks for the help.

Yes, but I thought the Ansem's Reports said Sora had to supply the body since Kairi couldn't. I could be wrong, and I apologize if I am, but that's the way I remember it.

Thanks for the support guys! I'm glad you like the theory so much! And, for the heck of it, here are a few things I noted that might hint more at the connection, but they're not as big. 1. Naminé acts like Ven in quite a few ways. I mentioned it above, but I forgot to mention she doesn't really act like Sora and Kairi. Weird since she was supposed to be created from them. 2. Sora supposedly created Naminé, so it's not weird to think she could have been created from Ven instead. I know you guys didn't argue it, but others might. But as pointed out by deathrebirthsenshi, it's a sex change either way. Knowing that makes the Ven/Nami connection a bit more plausible. LOL. 3. Could Naminé's Light apperance (because she's all white) be because all Darkness was stripped from Ven's heart? 3. And this isn't really a reason, but there's a clear moment in this video (when Ven and Naminé look up) that they have the same expression on their faces. I don't see it as a reason, but it is fun to look at. LOL.

Thanks. I'm glad you like the theory. I put a lot of thought into it. LOL. Yeah. That part never made sense to me. If she was created from Sora, why return to Kairi? Wouldn't Sora be incomplete without her? It doesn't make sense that it would be Kairi...

Okay, I know someone has probably done a thread about this. And I know how unlikely this might be, but away we go. Could it be possible that Naminé was created from Ven's body? Think about it, the Ansem's Reports say that Sora created Naminé, but how can that be? After all, Sora's own body and soul were used to create Roxas. Now we know that Sora and Ven are strongly connected from Sora healing Ven's heart. It's clear in the BbS novel that the way Ven acted in most of the game was because of Sora's personality. Is it possible that Naminé, having no other way to be created, used Ven's uneeded body in Castle Oblivion? Need I remind you that Ven's body is missing in the Birth by Sleep Final Mix secret ending? And no one should have been able to get in but Aqua. Now, let's think about this for a minute. Naminé was born in Castle Oblivion because she's a special Nobody. How and why? If she was created there, couldn't it be possible she used Ven's body to come into existance? She'd still be a special Nobody, after all. And after seeing that "The Truth About Naminé: book in Days, I think there's a lot about her existance that we don't know. Another hint that she might be created from Ven is that she has power over Sora's memories. But I've always wondered why. In Re: Coded we learn that Sora has other people's memories inside him (most likely some of Ven's). So if Naminé was created from Ven, it would make sense why she had this ability to manipulate Sora's memories. Not only are the two connected, but Sora has some of Ven's memories inside him. I know a lot of people have theorized that Naminé and Ven could be connected. I mean they look alike (but I don't really count that). And they even act alike in ways. They were both used and really fragile and frail in the beginning. And they both can be quite sad and hold themselves responsible for things. Also, since Ven's heart stayed in Sora's body when his heart became a Heartless, could it have in some way effected Ven? Sora was supposedly used to create two Nododies. When Ven's heart was used to create Roxas, could this have led him create this other Nobody, too? And we do know Naminé knew about Ven. "As for the third... I never really realized it, but... you and he share a very special connection." She didn't know everything about Ven and Sora's connection, but she did know of Ven. And is there more to this connection than meets the eye? The way Naminé said this makes me think so. I know this is very sketchy and we don't know enough. But it is something to think about. And you never know what to expect with Nomura... If nothing else, Naminé and Ven are connected through Sora.

Yep. That's true. And I owe a lot to kh13 for that. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have a good quality version of the scene (at least part of it) where Roxas, Axel, and Xion are nudging each other on the Clock Tower. You know, the scene that takes place during Roxas and Riku's fight.
