That's true. Sora's story is his hero journey. I think Sora being the 'chosen one' works so well for me because it reminds me of Luke Skywalker's journey when he chose to become a Jedi. It was technically a destiny picked for him by Obi Wan and Yoda. But Luke made the choice himself and every choice he made to continue the journey of bearing that weight got harder and harder for him. Luke had to earn his status and even than it nearly turned him to the dark side and/or killed him. But did what no one else was willing to do, do what he knew was right over what he wanted and believe in the good that was still in his Father. Sora reminds me of Luke's hero journey in that he wasn't the Chosen one everyone thought. But that didn't matter because Sora fought tooth and nail and suffered a lot, but he always stuck to his guns and proved to everyone why he was the one standing there at the end to make things right. Sora was unqualified in every way possible for the role of the Keyblade hero. But darn it he earned his place as being THE example of what a keblade hero should be. It really strikes me how at the end of KH2 before Kairi's letter rescued them, Sora kind of alluded to everything he had been through when commenting on the darkness getting to him. It's like the rare times Sora will allow himself to admit how he's not as innocent or carefree as he used to be, and everything has worn him down a little on the inside. But the guy still pushes on and can find joy in good things and accept his trials as being a part of who he is. Dang it, if I wasn't so focused on Zelda right now I'd replay KH3. When are we going to get more Kh news? DX
