Connections & Theories (KH3DS spoilers)

[Emo/Yami 37]

I've been thinking about the various things in the Kingdom Hearts series that seem pretty important and get repeatedly mentioned and how everything may be connected in some way, since that's apparently a theme in the series.

 

The Road to Dawn vs. The Twilight Road: This is Riku's chosen path after he begins to come to terms with his inner Darkness and regains some confidence in the Light. I think the Dawn is also related to the Twilight Road to Nightfall, which is mentioned by Diz/Ansem and believed to be Roxas' chosen path, in the sense that the two are sort of opposite ways in obtaining balance. Twilight is the perfect balance of Light and Darkness that makes use of Light first. Dawn begins in Darkness and begins to balance in with the Light.

 

The X-Blade & The Middle Roads: The X-Blade is the balance of a pure heart of Light (or possibly an abundance) and a pure heart of Darkness [this statement's a contradiction](or an abundance of darkness) that are of equal strength. When the hearts come together the X-Blade is forged. With the stuff I know and think is true about the two middle roads, I think someone who has mastered the Keyblade and has perfect balance between the Light and Darkness within them could actually call upon the power of the X-Blade, or at least wield it.

 

A sentient Kingdom Hearts: This has been hinted at in the series a bit. If I'm remembering right, In KH1, when Ansem SoD was near Kingdom Hearts and referred to it as being made of Darkness (or something like that) it actually looked like that was the case. When Sora countered this statement by saying Kingdom Hearts is made of Light, Kingdom Hearts appeared to be so. This is the first instance I can think of in which Kingdom Hearts has shown some amount of sentience. Another thing is Xemnas' (and possibly some of the other Xehanorts') remark about hearts "being cultivated" and that, because of the amount of time the Nobodies spent in their "empty state", they gained hearts of their own that were made in their bodies. I think Kingdom Hearts is actually responsible for this as it is some sort of giant collection of hearts; I'm sure it has a heart to spare. This brings me to the last one I can think of right now.

 

Reconnect Kingdom Hearts: This has showed up at the end of every secret movie since Birth by Sleep's and is the subject of lots of speculation. I'm pretty sure this has to do with Kingdom Hearts III, but that's not the point. Near the end of Kingdom Hearts II, Ansem tried to convert Kingdom Hearts into data and, while he failed, he managed to damage it somewhat. I'm almost certain that this will, at least in part, have to do with KHIII's plot, along with the X-Blade itself. In the X-Blade's case, not only is it the Xehanorts' goal, I think the X-Blade will be the tool needed to fix Kingdom Hearts.
