Return To Reality Theory

[Seyin95 175]

Hello All,

My first official KH4 theory/idea and it’s based on the trailer. The thing which I keep going back to is the comment about ‘endless worlds’ and ‘not the world you left’. The clear indication is 1) Sora can leave Unreality,2) Catch 22 - where does he actually go if he leaves? Sometimes it’s better the devil you know, and 3) nothing is theoretically off limits (minus real world restrictions of course). 
 

This has gotten me thinking deeply, I’ve seen a lot of people discussing Endor from the trailer and I’m personally convinced myself. Another potential idea could be a Nier based world (more on that below). Now the biggest gripe some people have had in the past is ‘Star Wars etc doesn’t fit in the KH world.’ With the concept of Unreality, it no longer has to. This brings me to my theory/idea. I believe Sora will try and escape Unreality and return to Kairi. Add in the usual Sora desire for helping people and I do believe he’ll try and help Strelitzia return to her brother too. Cue a first attempt to leave - Star Wars. Sora will technically be out of Quadratum, but will be in anew universe. This gives scope to more than one world too and not solely Endor. I then predict Sora will return back to Quadratum and spend more time there and help out with the new heartless threat. Sora will blame himself and the keyblade for the heartless arrival and seek another attempt to leave. 
 

Cue the potential for Marvel properties and how Sora can work through different MCU properties. Sora will once again return to Quadratum and this is where I believe Riku will come into play. Riku will be able to fill Sora in what’s been happening and how long he’s been gone for. Then both try and leave and end up in yet another world. I’d personally welcome a Square property as a world, to really place an emphasis on ‘endless worlds’. 
 

The next return to Quadratum would see Sora and Riku have to fully defend the city and world, Yazora would appear and require Sora’s help (high chance he appears way   earlier) and we have a Hollow Bastion KH2 esque super battle with Riku, Stretlitzia and Yazora as aids. Naturally the city will be saved and the new threat will be revealed. Riku and Sora will know they’ll need to warn the others and prepare to leave. However, at the last moment Sora will send Riku and Stretlizia back to reality to reunite with her brother and will remain behind to protect Quadratum with Yazora. The difference will be that Sora will lean how to return to reality due to his connections to both Riku and Stretlitzia who have been to Unreality and Luxor’s wild card will be the link. 
 

So to summarise, Sora has always possessed the ability to leave. He will just be unable to and will originally repeatedly try and fail. The conclusion will be Sora presented with an actual chance to leave and will choose to remain to protect those behind. Sora and Yozora hold the fort in Quadratum and Riku returns with Stretlitzia to Reality and goes to Yen Sid. I’d end the game with Luxord’s real self meeting Sora again and reminding him that he can still control his own destiny and play the right hand to return….

Also as a final add on, I don’t believe Sora will spend the entire saga in Unreality.
