Well I guess so.

Would Leon even recognise them as Organization members though? Because the only person still wearing his coat out of that group is Lea/Axel and Leon has never met any of those members before as far as I'm aware. Therefore Lea is the only person at risk of being mistaken as a bad guy and in DDD we know that he went to Merlin to learn how to wield a keyblade and since Merlin currently lives in Hollow Bastion/Radiant Garden and is in close connection with Leon it is possible Leon has already been informed of Lea's allegiance with Sora.

I love Japanese songs too!

Thank you very much!

I think Return to Oz should have scored higher. Those disembodied heads waking up and screaming used to scare the life out of me! Also I think Monstro was the scariest thing in Pinocchio but he wasn't mentioned. Oh and what about the ending of Hunchback when that gargoyle that Frollo's clinging onto comes to life and gives him an evil smile before breaking off the wall causing him to fall into a lake of fire and brimstone? I used to find that quite scary. Is it just me?

I've had loads of amazing dreams. I've flown to Neverland as Peter Pan, flown a broomstick, fought Voldermort as Harry Potter, saved the world as The Doctor, dreamt that Naruto and Hinata get together, been a Pokémon trainer and been Sora, Riku and Kairi in different dreams including one where, as Riku, I was relaxing in the warm water off the coast of Destiny Islands before a large troll-like creature appeared and started ripping things up so I ran after Sora with keyblade in hand to fight it. (I'm not always a boy in my dreams and I am straight, honest!)

...in case of extreme snow in winter or flooding and to facilitate suicidal employees.

Yeah also traces of her still seem to be in Roxas and Axel's memories as in DDD Roxas reminds Axel in the dream of his promise to 'always be there to bring us (being Xion and Roxas) back' and Axel says that he remembers it even though he was talking only to Xion when he made that promise. Then of course there's the scene where Sora sees Xion and sheds a tear which is obviously Roxas crying through him. I don't know if any other Organization members have similar traces of memory though. You would think Xemnas would have mentioned her if he did when he talks about Roxas being a 'worthy candidate' in DDD, after all he decided that Xion was even more 'worthy' than Roxas in Days. Perhaps the other Organization members' memories of Xion have been merged with their memories of Roxas?

"What is important is not how much we see each other but how often we think about each other" - Hayner and Axel. Or "The heart may be weak but it's not alone. It's found a home with all the friends I've made. And if they think of me now and then, if they don't forget me, then our hearts will be one!" - Sora.

Maybe a monkey? He's already got round ears and a tail. He just needs a different nose.

I know he did show some emotion but it was kind of weak when compared with his breakdown when he saw Riku. He actually cried seeing Riku but we've never seen him cry for Kairi. I'm hoping KH3 will have a lot more touching scenes between the two of them. Maybe even a kiss? They are 16 now after all.

Yeah I thought that as well. Until he heard she had been kidnapped he had good reason to be more worried about Riku. And I guess he was more emotional at being reunited with Riku than Kairi because he didn't know where Riku was or what he was doing or if he was alright whereas with Kairi he always knew that she was either on the island or with the Organization so he could at least pinpoint her rough location.

Okay aside from the fact that Sora has completely neglected his family, I would have to disagree with you. In KH2 Sora demands of Saix to take him to Kairi and Saix says 'Is she really that important to you?' then Sora says 'Yeah, more than anything!' and Saix says 'Show me how important' then Sora gets down on his hands and knees and says 'Please...' Then there's the scene in Halloween Town where Sora imagines himself dancing with Kairi and then he gives a shy giggle (which is adorable) and there's another scene where Donald and Goofy comment that Sora's face is red and they say 'We know who you're thinking about!' In short Sora obviously does still care about Kairi, he just had a lot of other things on his mind in KH2 like trying to find Riku and saving the worlds. Though I do wish he'd shown a bit more emotion when he was reunited with her in the Castle That Never Was.

Ah right! I wonder why he gave up the title of Master? Maybe to focus on wizardry instead?

I saw it in the cinemas with my brother when I was about 9 and I cried so much! Then I got it on video and it kept making me cry for the next 5 years or so whenever I watched it. That moment when Ash sees all the Pokémon suffering and he runs inbetween Mew and Mewtwo's attacks yelling them to stop and gets turned into stone and Pikachu desparately tries to revive him then stares at his blank face and starts crying..... :s......... ........... yeah, I cry pretty easily... Love that film!

I hadn't noticed that before but then it's been a long time since I've seen any of the Japanese cutscenes. Your theory would make sense though as Eraqus is the only one whose hair isn't grey/white/non-existent. Also maybe Yen Sid became Master before the others or his advanced wisdom and magical ability earn him extra respect or something. Ahh! Thank you! That matter's been cleared up then, though we still don't know who their Master was but maybe we'll never know.

That's true, though of course there are some exceptions like Hercules. Oh yeah! I hadn't noticed that! Or if I did I forgot I had. That's quite a big mistake. Though I guess it could be explained by the fact that time flows differently in different worlds.

Exactly. His master would either have had to be really old or already dead. Though on a slightly different note is it just me or does King Mickey simply not age at all? In DDD we saw him before he learned how to wield a keyblade (as a musketeer) and he looked exactly the same as he does now. Same with Donald and Goofy. I don't think the normal rules of aging apply in Kingdom Hearts...

It's also possible that Yen Sid trained with Eraqus and Xehanort and that the three of them shared a master we haven't met. After all Yen Sid and Xehanort look kind of similar in age and most friendships in KH come in threes e.g. 'Sora, Riku, Kairi' and 'Terra, Aqua, Ven'.

:huh: These aren't exactly very Heartless-y names are they? If I knew you wanted something less serious I would have said Pluto's Heartless

I'm not very familiar with this game outside Dream Drop Distance but the amv looked very good to me!

Dark Thorn Unleashed or Feral Dark Thorn? I just think it looks kind of like a purple dog/lion version of Dark Thorn.

Ah, okay. ^^;

They definitely do because we hear Sora's mother calling him for dinner in KH1 and plus just before Riku disappears from the island he says 'We may never see our parents again'. So their parents are most likely still alive right now, they just appear not to be considered important enough for Nomura to actually address properly. Though I do wonder whether Sora's parents forgot about him during CoM just like Selphie, Leon and everyone else. If so they must have felt pretty bad realising they had completely forgotten about their own son.

For me the Johto Pokémon are just as good as the Generation 1 Pokémon. There are some good ones in the later generations as well (Torchic is so cute!) but I think generally they start going downhill after Johto. I just don't think the designs are as good.
