Grammar/Error Warning Undergoing Reform RIKU IS THE REAL HERO (THEORY) I wanted to make sure this theory reaches as many people as possible. If you aren't to keen on reading here's the original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEOZyPxtOmg If you'd like to read the theory though. Let's begin: In this video I want to propose or convey an idea not many have proposed if at all. So as you all know Kingdom Hearts has always followed Sora and made him out to be the HERO some destined Keyblade barer until we reached Dream Drop Distance 4 years ago. We'll what if I also told you Kingdom Hearts 3 and what we know thus far also supports this theory? (I know I'd get ignorant hate because quote "We haven't played it yet how can you know?! I'm so... triggered! ) Yes, what we know actually does coincide with my theory. To understand the ending we must start from the beginning starting with the previous then current Generation. Birth By Sleep In this game we have our previous trio interact with the current trio and they develop connections. These connections are as stated (Terra-Riku] Aqua- Kiari, Riku, Sora] Ven-Sora). But someone's connections are not meant to be Sora's! (As we know from the know it all himself Mater Xehanort in DDD) In this journey the most important visits to Destiny Islands is connected to Terra and Aqua's portions. In Terra's visit he bestows the power of the Keyblade to Riku do to their outlooks on "what's really important" being highly relatable. As he states in the ritual "So long as you champion the ones you love" (As we know Riku admired Sora a lot when they were children.) The second most important visit: is Aqua's! Where we can concur that Aqua would've bestowed the power to Sora do to Riku having the power and darkness looming over his shoulder. So she instead asks Sora to "Protect Riku" be by "his side" and "guide him if he wanders a dark path" (Please keep this in mind as we go along.) Now Terra also made a statement that tripped me out "Aqua, Ven, one day i'll make this right." what if this is connected to the seed he sowed by gifting Riku with the keyblade? Just something to think about sense Nomura hinted the person in Terra's heart isn't actually Eraqus. Kingdom Hearts 1 In this game as we know the journeys of our current trio begins. But do to KH usually following Sora's perspective we'll be going into Riku's instead (Remember the Guardian Role Sora Plays). In this entry Riku was supposed to be bequeath the Kingdom Key but do to his wavering heart the keyblade moved along, or at least we were lead to believe that. Overtime this journey solidifies what it means to wield the Keyblade and Riku displays the complete opposite demeanor. Showing disdain and jealousy for Sora during our interactions with him. Most noted time was when he calls Sora a "delivery boy" and when he lets Ansem into his heart just to gain enough strength to put Sora beneath him. Going against the rituals line of "Championing the ones you love." though surprisingly in the end Riku returns to that boy that cared for his friends taking his heart back from Ansem and secluding himself in the Realm of Darkness. Kingdom Hearts Chain Of Memories In this entry Riku is called to Castle Oblivion to take on the trial of gaining control over his darkness and choose a path of Light or Darkness. But on his journey Riku learns that darkness does not need to be snuffed out. But instead it can be controlled and used to help him reach the light again. After fighting a few Organization members he finally takes on his inner struggle Ansem. After overcoming the battle it is discovered Riku possess an ability never before seen. The ability to balance the light and darkness in his heart making him immune to corruption on both ends! Kingdom Hearts 2 After the events of chain of memories Riku has left to learn how to control the darkness's hold on him. So out of fear of not being able to face Sora and Kiari thinking they would hold his actions from KH1 against him. Until he learns they've forgiven him and have been searching for him. After he rekindles that bond with them he's bequeath the gift of a new keyblade which he secretly struggles with accepting. Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance You all should know the premise of this game, if not, SPOILERS AHEAD! Sora and Riku dives into the hearts of the worlds to awaken them from slumber as their "Mark of Mastery Exam". Whoever dives into the worlds hearts and return unscathed will gain a new power and will be crowned "Master". We learn a few things about our two heroes. Sora: 1) Is prone to darkness of high levels like Xehanorts. 2) And Sora is actually a dull ordinary boy only powerful because of the connections in his heart. But he would never be chosen by a key. Riku: 1) Riku is immune to even the deepest depths of darkness which he's dived into twice 2) and Riku possess the power to save people from the darkness Now if you'll recall I said DDD exposes a lot about the theory? You should see what I'm eluding too. Sora can't fight Xehanort off. But Riku, however, has done it twice. Also, in the end Yen Sid says that "THEIR FATES REST BEST ON RIKU'S SHOULDERS" Kingdom Hearts 3 So of course things get a little bit flexible and interpretive here but let me explain why this coincides with my theory thus far. In the 2013 announcement trailer () we see Sora pick up the "Master Defender" as we know from Nomura Aqua will find out how to save Ventus and Terra in "A Fragmentary Passage" words from Nomura himself! But at the time Sora picks up this Key he shouldn't be a Master seeing as his clothes are still the KH2 duds. Leaving only one Master to be picked by the key "Riku". Think about it! Aqua knows Riku/Sora's home is Destiny Island meaning she could've sent the key to them the same way she lends Terra her Key. As a symbol of her will being left in Terra's hands. Secondly, take a listen to Young Xehanort's words to Young Eraqus in the E3 2015 trailer "On that land shall darkness prevail and light expire" If we've already established Riku's immunity to darkness since CoM it would make sense he'd survive the event of darkness consuming the light. During the 2nd key blade war. Lastly, think about Xehanort's goal in KH3 "13 darkness's and 7 lights whose final clash will beget the prize I seek...The X-Blade!" As we know the X-blade is a wavering key meaning it would connect to Riku because they're wills are the same and as we know a key can renounce a wielder if their hearts do not relate to it's will. The same way Riku lost the Kingdom Key. Look at the way to dawn keyblade and look at the X-Blade the Heart emblem is evidence. The X-Blade emblem is safe guarded by two Kingdom Keys but I think that symbolizes "Defender of Kingdom Hearts". So what do you think?

I certainly didn't.

For those of you that are unaware of the matter, next week is Paris Games Week. During this event, developers announce upcoming games as well as news about current games. What is known mostly about this event is that this year, Sony are using it as a means to showcase games after they had skipped Gamescom. Anyway, after doing a bit of research, I gathered the Data below which lists some of the developers coming to the event. Listed below are Square Enix and Disney, so go figure. (https://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/22426713941/sizes/z/) However, the two companies could be there for different purposes - Square Enix for Tomb Raider, and Disney for Battlefront. But, it leaves the question as to whether Kingdom Hearts III or Kingdom Hearts in general may appear hear at all. After all, it is a week prior to the Premium Theater Event we are all so excited for, so is the likelihood diminished? Leave your thoughts below.

So with all the hype going on for Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 -Final Chapter Prologue- going on, I decided to make a mock up version of what the menu or title screen may look like for the game. I previously uploaded an image to the gallery here and now its finished and ready for viewing. Keep in mind that since there hasn't been any official artwork released yet for the collection (because well it was just announced )that all the artwork is stock or specifically created in gimp, oh and this video was created in Adobe Premiere CC 2015 for anyone who's wondering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkrVC2Abv3c&feature=youtu.be

Yes, this may be an oddball of a conclusion to make, but, here me out here. This is what I believe will happen. Kingdom Hearts X Back Cover Ephemera has made alliances with all the Foretellers, however, Chirithy's warning about a traitor that will turn the Foretellers against each-other makes them suspect that Ephemera was using them to bring the foretold "envelopment of darkness". So, as a consequence, they all simultaneously agree to banish Ephemera to The Realm Of Darkness. Anguis is the Foreteller that conducts the banishment upon Ephemera. Kingdom Hearts 0.2 At the end of The Realm Of Darkness. Aqua notices a figure (who is Ephemera). She approaches it, however, after approaching it, she comes to realise that it is using the powers of Darkness and is wielding a Keyblade. From Ephemera's perspective, he believes that it is Anguis that has suddenly appeared, and as a means of defence, revenge and blinded rage, he proceeds to battle Aqua! After the battle is over, Aqua and Ephemera exchange conversations. Aqua stresses the pain of darkness that was caused by Xehanort whilst Ephemera cries about the consequences of light after his experience with the Foretellers. They both agree that light and darkness must be at an equilibrium in order for balance to be maintained.
