liamaru 294 Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) religion is heavily implemented in kingdom hearts now before you say (this guy is crraaazzzy) let me show you some proof ill start with sora. throughout the kingdom hearts franchise sora is the hero that saves the day wherever he goes like a savior or a massiah in the kingdom hearts manga the cover shows sora in a crusified poseition similar to lights from death note with dive to hearts behind him:http://kattheacrobat.files.wordpress.com/2007/03/6a00d4142829d33c7f00d414228de4685e.jpghttp://2.bp.blogspot.com/_piAo8TM9DVY/TCn6nEWSu3I/AAAAAAAABC4/w-OFGRpGjUo/s1600/crucifixion-1.jpghttp://www.destinyislands.com/images/official-artwork/kh2/posters/kh2-two-sides.jpg also im sure many have noticed that dive to hearts looks alot like church.http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110824085000/kingdomhearts/images/3/33/Dive_to_the_Heart_%28Art%29_KH.pngalso the 7 lights and 13 darknesses are arguable the 10 commendments(7 lights) and the 7 deadley sins(which was compised in the 13th century hence 13 darknesses) also one could say xehanort goel to bring eqilibrium between light and dark has currupted him and has led him to the desire to become a god like king ceazar and also come on its a squre enix game .but thats just a theory....A GAME THEORY!!!!

littleTSUBAME 483 Posted August 22, 2014 I dunno... I don't really see it. But then again, wouldn't really be the first time that Square Enix uses christian symbolism : D (->TWEWY&LR, for example...) 1 Alicia Maddox reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardrada 117 Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) I think you're on some shaky ground, but nice try. Sora follows the classic "Hero's journey" archetype. Edited August 22, 2014 by Hardrada Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dio Brando 5,810 Posted August 22, 2014 Ummm KH barely has any religious undertones and if there it's pretty much hidden symbolizm that I doubt someone would pay attention to if they're not super analyzing the games After all,we don't want Wakka to think that Sora and Riku are Al Bhed from FFX now do we ? ^_^ I dunno... I don't really see it. But then again, wouldn't really be the first time that Square Enix uses christian symbolism : D (->TWEWY&LR, for example...) They use it all the time in Final Fantasy,but it's more that the game has it's own religion like the teachings of Yevon in FFX instead of using real life religions TWEWY didn't really have much if any to be honest.

littleTSUBAME 483 Posted August 22, 2014 TWEWY didn't really have much if any to be honest. Depends on what you think is a lot, but it definitely has some symbolism. Joshua, for example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dio Brando 5,810 Posted August 22, 2014 Depends on what you think is a lot, but it definitely has some symbolism. Joshua, for example. Yeah but the rest is mostly subtle symbolizm for the most part and it won't be as obvious as something like FFX or Evangelion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleTSUBAME 483 Posted August 22, 2014 Yeah but the rest is mostly subtle symbolizm for the most part and it won't be as obvious as something like FFX or Evangelion True. I guess it really depends on who you ask. For me, the symbolism was always quite a big part of TWEWY. Though it is mostly revolving around Joshua. And it's subtle, as you said.

LeYenrz 276 Posted August 22, 2014 other than this photo: there is no real representation of Sora symbolizing the crucification pose. that image you showed of the KH 1 manga isn't canon. Since the manga isn't considered canon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeYenrz 276 Posted August 22, 2014 what about your picture? that pick is cannon well, sure there's editing on it and stuff, since i couldnt find the original drawn by nomura but you can tell that Sora and Roxas in that picture are drawn by Nomura Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aile 273 Posted August 30, 2014 I don't really see anything religious in KH, but maybe that's just because I'm not religious and stuff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hazimie 1,595 Posted August 31, 2014 As stated by Nomura, he's an ordinary person. So yeah, he can be a Keyblade Master, a heartless or a naked mermaid for crying out loud! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
