What will the "hard to accept" ending of KH3 be?

[Wan_Pisu 1,248]

When KH2 ended right as Goofy got hit by a rock, I couldn't believe it.

 

Rip Goof

[Bevin Olson (Nite) 11]

I think that it will be that they'll kill Young Xehanort and that the timeline would revert entirely, because if you think about it, if YX was killed before he could grow up and screw everything up, then there wouldn't be anything wrong with the worlds. There would be no Maleficent threats, Terra, Ven, and Aqua most likely wouldn't have met, Sora and Riku wouldn't know Kairi, and Vanitas, Roxas, Xion, Namine, and Organization XIII would never exist. Mickey probably wouldn't become a Keyblade wielder or master. No one would have a need for Keyblades. Eraqus would still be alive.

 

...I'm starting to realize how much has happened only because Xehanort exists.

a idea i have had for ages is everyone comes back and during the final battle axel,terra,namine, and some of the final fantasy cast die and half of the cast fall to darkness

[ITzDarthLordRevan 291]

xehanort manages to get to use the power of Kingdom Hearts, Isa kills Lea, Xehanort kills Riku, Sora actually gets seriously angry for once and all the worlds become difficult to travel to so none of the main cast can see each other ever again. 

 

Even though this isn't ending related, I feel like they will explore darker themes although they won't be entirely explicit. I'm sure the Wayfinder Trio have been through some sort of trauma in the ten years they were away. (Like Ven being afraid to fall asleep again, Aqua being afraid of the dark, Terra being afraid that he might hurt his friends, etc. Of course, these are my personal headcanons.) There's a possibility they may even explore darker themes with Sora and Vanitas as well.

In the end, it turns out that the dark seeker saga has all been a dream Sora has been having while in a coma. All his adventures and all the friends he made had all been a delusion his mind cooked up while asleep. After the credits, Sora at last wakes up, confused, and the first thing he sees is the tearful face of his mother. She leaves to alert the hospital staff of her son's awakening.

 

Then Donald and Goofy burst through his hospital door, exclaim they finally found the one chosen by the key, bust him out of the hospital, and they fly away on their gummi ship to their first adventure.

[Spencer Ellis Norman 63]

At this point, since he said something like that, anything goes. Except the death of Sora seeing as hes the protagonist after KH3. Honestly, Ive heard this games pretty dark, I was thinking something along the lines of a plot twist, where instead of Terra being a Nort like we all think Xehanort somehow gets Aqua instead in some turn of event. Leaving Terra to be a Light in her place, I mean, shes already a Master, an evil Aqua fight would be gripping, hurtful and challenging to say the least.

I was thinking something terrible will happen to the point Sora, Riku, and Kairi won't be able to see the Disney Characters anymore. 

[KingdomHearts3 2,591]

While surely it has nothing to do with Sora’s mom, I think a character beloved by us all will die. I think as much of a tragic hero Roxas has been, he will officially perish even though he has been through so much.

[darkventus 69]

i feel it will build up to the reveal of what was in the black box during khX back cover and Master of Masters aka mom will make a return as a new threat

[Leamax 746]

Half of the KH universe will disappear with a snap

[Movies798 1,358]

It will either be a way too happy ending. Or Master Xehanort and his other selves dies.

[kingdombladesventus 53]

At first as I commented on Prodigy's channel, that I mentioned the universe is in an apocalyptic state or there's a plot twist at the end. But...a thought came into my head. What if.......... Kairi doesn't end up with Sora, but with RIku. *Gasp* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! That mustn't happen. SoKai shipping is true shipping. What if our somewhat official heterosexual ships aren't true!

[2 quid is good 2,209]

Riku will die

So... So emotional T.T

 

He still didn't get a chance to eat his dinner

[Lerine 4]

I think it will be something like: we manage to defeat Xehanort, but discover that he was actually the lesser evil, and someone worse than him appears (I would think someone like the Master of Masters) and then the game end on a sad note with a cliffhanger. I'm pretty sure that Sora won't die, since Nomura said that the protag of the next KH after KHIII will still be Sora.

[Sora's Baby 729]

Riku or Lea die, that's my guess. I'm leaning toward it being Riku considering his character arc is done. 

[KH4Real 749]

Riku or Lea die, that's my guess. I'm leaning toward it being Riku considering his character arc is done. 

Yep but I go for Riku and Aqua. The two first Keyblade Masters.

[Bevin Olson (Nite) 11]

So I've had another, probably even worse theory. What if Xehanort wasn't the main antagonist and was actually getting controlled into it by someone like the Master of Masters or Luxu? We don't know who the true person who betrayed the Master's teachings was, since there was still good intent behind the actions that Aced took in KHUX.

[KeybladeMasterBalo 504]

I have kinda taken Nomura's word "KH3 ending will be hard to digest" as an opinion of the fandom seeing the climax of all of the adventures so far coming to an end, I mean I have already thought before that once KH3 finally comes and everything we've been doing so far comes to an end I will be sad, excited and happy but sad that it's over. He might be referring to a mix of emotions we players will experience. Who knows...

[Mysterious Figure 353]

Worst case scenario is that it means its gonna be super convulated and not make any sense, which I can totally see happening.

what is the obsession with sora's dinner?

But killing young xehanort would be like killing baby hitler sure everybody knows what he will become but at that point in time he hasmt done anything yet and i dont think our purist sora is into that greater good stuff

Killing sor would be the dumbest thing they could do after setting up his releationship with kairi so well

[Tyranto Rex 277]

what is the obsession with sora's dinner?

It's been about three years in the official timeline, and he still has not eaten his dinner his poor mother made him.  :sad: Heck, I don't remember seeing him eat at all.

[Uniphication 38]

Goofy is the Master of Masters

[PrinceNoctis 1,011]

I was thinking something terrible will happen to the point Sora, Riku, and Kairi won't be able to see the Disney Characters anymore. 

Nomura making plans to get rid of Disney and get full control of KH once and for all hahaha
