Whilst Ava is my favourite Foreteller and leader of my union, I voted for Gula as he's a character with different layers to his personality that makes him quite intriguing. He's quick-thinking yet often laid-back and aloof yet obviously has a soft spot for Ava. It'd be interesting to know what makes him like that.

No it counted as 7 separate instances, as clarified by Chirithy below: Chirithy: Even with the power of waking, you can't just bring someone back. Sora: But Kairi's heart hasn't been lost yet. She's still with us, right? Chirithy: Maybe, but this time, I'm afraid the situation is a lot worse. Sora: Hey, I've already restored six hearts. What's one more? Chirithy: But that's not how it's supposed to work at all. The power of waking is meant to be used to wake and restore sleeping hearts, not to restore them after they've completely faded away from existence. You've done that six times before, and as a result, you've managed to greatly alter the course of history itself.

I meant the many times he misuses the power of waking to save everyone, which eventually resulted in his own disappearance after doing it again for Kairi. That is a good point, Sora doesn't tend to keep a cool head. Maybe Riku should have the snake!

Valid point. If we're focusing on powers rather than aesthetics though then Sora should have the snake Miraculous. He uses Second Chance multiple times in KH3 after all!

Ah yes well that would work. I was imagining him fighting alongside the current Ladybug! They'd need different superhero names though. Maybe Lady Luck for Kairi and... Meow Wow for Sora? 🤔 I imagine him having a cheesy name! Kairi would suit the fox Miraculous as well though.

Only if Sora gets to become a Miraculous holder. I'd want to see that! Not sure which Miraculous would suit him though... 🤔

Ansem the Wise said that Sora was the only one able to return to his human form without destroying his Nobody. I believe this means that no other Nobody is able to co-exist with their Somebody without using time travel, except Namine and Kairi due to the fact that Kairi never lost her human form and Sora was involved in creating Namine. Also, I think that with other Nobodies who possess hearts but then return to their human form, their Nobody hearts merge with their human hearts to become one and the same (like Axel/Lea). Therefore Xemnas couldn't be extracted from Xehanort without Xehanort perishing.

I've wondered about this as well. Whilst I don't know the exact answer, I think Vanitas' body must have been like Sora's body when Kairi changed him back from being a Heartless. His body looked and seemingly acted like normal but it was incomplete until Roxas returned to him. Therefore I think Vanitas' body must also have been incomplete without Ven. Though of course both Vanitas and Roxas obtained their own complete bodies in KH3.

What about Luca? I can imagine a sequel where Luca gets kidnapped and sold to a zoo or something by some bad guys so his friends and family have to rescue him.

With Berserk being such a popular manga in Japan (though I've never read it) it's quite possible that some inspiration was taken from it, whether intentionally or not. In turn, I think the manga Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle took inspiration from Kingdom Hearts. Both are about a 14 year old boy from a sunny, sandy world whose childhood friend and love interest (that's also a princess) loses her heart when dark beings invade their world from another dimension, causing him to go on a journey across many other worlds with a magician and a royal guard whilst meeting characters from other stories, in an effort to save her. Also both boys are voiced in Japanese by Miyu Irino.

Yes, it's Mont Saint Michel, which is also the inspiration for the Kingdom of Corona in Tangled. I didn't include every example of real places in the franchise as I was having so many issues with this website whilst making the post.

I knew someone would comment on this. I know that, technically, Big Ben is the name of the bell inside the tower, but most everyone refers to the whole tower as Big Ben, even though its official name, as only of 2012, is indeed Elizabeth Tower.

There have been various rumours floating around the internet recently about Disney making a Kingdom Hearts film or TV series which will apparently be a live-action/CGI crossover. Whilst I'm still sceptical about this as it's not the first time there have been such rumours and I also don't like the idea of seeing Sora being played by a real person (how will they deal with his huge feet?!) it does get me wondering what a live-action Kingdom Hearts project might look like. An easy way to start would be by looking at the real-world locations that feature in Kingdom Hearts as these could become filming locations. Here's a few below: Port Royal, Jamaica (photo from Wikipedia) Featured in KH2 and KH3 as part of The Caribbean world. Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France (photo from Britannica.com) Featured in KHDDD as part of La Cite Des Cloches Big Ben in London, England (photo from Britannica.com) Featured in KH1 as part of the Neverland world. Shibuya Crossing in Shibuya, Japan (photo from JapanTravel.com) Featured in KH3 as part of Quadratum. The name "Shibuya" hasn't been used to refer to Quadratum within the game but the location is pretty much an exact replica, down to the 109 building that Sora fights Yozora on. Shibuya has been mentioned, however, in KHDDD as the home of Neku and his friends. Additionally there are locations in Kingdom Hearts which resemble real-world places such as the following: St James Street in London, England (photo from Wikipedia) or any Victorian-era street in London really. Resembles Scala Ad Caelum in KH Missing-Link and the end of Kingdom Hearts Union Cross. Dubrovnik, Croatia (photo from Wikimapia). Resembles Scala Ad Caelum in KH Dark Road and KH3, mainly due to the use of cable cars, pale buildings and closeness to the sea. This may be a bit of a stretch though. There's lots of other examples I could mention but I think this article is long enough! Whether a KH film/TV series happens or not you can always visit these places in cosplay for a photoshoot! Sorry, I was having a lot of issues submitting this article and have ended up submitting it three times! Hopefully the admins will remove the duplicates.

So whilst I did enjoy Wish and there were some great songs in it, like many people I also felt that it didn't quite live up to Disney's previous classics. However I think there's potential for it to be a great addition to a future Kingdom Hearts game due to its themes and unique animation style. The climax of the film is especially perfect for Kingdom Hearts as I've demonstrated in the image below. Plus Magnifico could spawn an intimidating Heartless which would make for a great boss battle! What do you think?

I'm surprised the Book of Prophecies isn't an option.
