Fridge Brilliance

• The reason Traverse Town's music is similar, yet different in this game? It's not the real Traverse Town, but a lookalike made by Joshua from Rhyme's memories.
  • Similarly, this might explain why Shiki still looks like Eri.
• Both Fridge Horror and Fridge Brilliance, All the TWEwY Guys are in Traverse Town, That would mean The World Ended Without Them?.
  • Yes, And that would be becasue of Shibuya's destruction by the Heartless.
  • Or maybe is was because of that Level i Flare?
• In Dream Drop Distance, we learn that Braig and all the other members of Organization XIII were intended as new hosts for Xehanort. He states he's already "half Xehanort", with the camera zooming in on his yellow eye. His hair isn't going grey because of his age.....he's slowly taking on Xehanort's coloration, just like Terra did after his Grand Theft Me. Likewise, this explains why Saix's eyes are yellow instead of green like in Birth By Sleep. And it explains why Isa had bright blue hair, while Saix's is lighter, with grey mixed in, he, too, is taking on Xehanort's coloration.
  • And supports Axel's claims that Saix had changed from when they originally joined the Organization.
  • This also explains why Organization XIII is comprised entirely of males (and Larxene), and adds a whole new level to Saix's claims that Xion was never a member- she was supposed to become Sora, never Xehanort.
    • Speaking of Larxene, this could also explain her sadism. As number 12, she was the most recent addition to the Organization before Roxas and Xion. Most likely, her heart isn't as developed as some of the others.
    • And of course Organization XIII were perfect vessels for Xehanort's heart- Nobodies don't have hearts of their own!
  • The Replica Program takes on a whole new meaning considering all this, as it essentially kills two birds with one stone in Xehanort's point of view: create suitable replicas to serve as vessels as part of his plot to forge the χ-blade, but more importantly, create a duplicate of Sora to serve as his primary new host. Commissioning it under the guise of creating a Keyblade wielder for the Organization serves as both a handy excuse as well as playing further into his plan; returning Hearts to Kingdom Hearts only makes it more powerful. This also adds another level of detail as to exactly why Roxas and Xion were so important to Xemnas.
  • They also explain that the letter X acted as a way to mark and monitor people who were prospective vessels. This pushes Saix's X scar into being full-blown Fridge Horror and provides an actual reason for the theme naming of Organization XIII.
  • The revelations also explain why Xemnas and Ansem, Seeker of Darkness never seemed to come into conflict, despite somewhat competing goals. Since they were on the same side the whole time, both working towards either snagging Sora or creating more opportunities to make more Xehanorts in general.
• The black cloak is said to resist the corrupting effects of Darkness, so it would be redundant that Nobodies would wear one. In Dream Drop Distance, we find out that Nobodies are able to grow hearts over time, but Xemnas and Xigbar fooled the others into believing that they didn't have one and thus couldn't be corrupted by the darkness. The cloak unintentionally protected them from darkness the whole time to further the illusion. Xemnas was lying the whole time. Nice foreshadowing Nomura, it slipped under most people's minds.
• A lot of things annoyed me from what I saw of the Disney world cutscenes in the game... the lack of people at the Festival of Fools, Phoebus and Esmeralda's hookup coming out of the clear blue (since any bonding scenes between them from the film were cut from the game), Sora leaving The Grid without checking to see if Tron's alright (despite CLU's dialogue suggesting he's still alive. And then it hit me... it's All Just a Dream! When do dreams ever make sense when you look back at them?
  • This also maybe the reason why Shiki is still in Eri's appearance. - P Miller 1
• Xemnas' boss theme, "L'Oscurita dell'Ignot". "Ignoto" means "unknown" in Italian, which may, at first glance, mean that the theme should be named "L'Oscurita dell'Ignoto", meaning "Darkness of The Unknown". However, "Ignot" doesn't mean anything in Italian or in other words, means nothing. Which would make the name suddenly appropriate: "L'Oscurita dell'Ignot" would be interpreted as "Darkness of The Nothing"
• The Symphonie of Sorcery World uses a different suit of classical music for Sora and Riku each: The Sixth Symphony by Beethoven for Sora and The Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky for Riku. This doesn't seem to mean much at first... Until you realize that both, the initially intended meanings of the pieces as well as the animated shorts done for them for Fantasia both apply to the characters in some way: The Sixth Symphony's form is supposed to represent five stages of a trip to somewhere: Awakening of cheerful feelings upon arrival in the country, Scene at the brook, Happy gathering of country folk, Thunderstorm, Shepherds' song; cheerful and thankful feelings after the storm. This can be interpreted to represent the structure of pretty much all the Disney-World Visits that Sora has done during his time as a Keyblade Wielder: Arrival, Exploration, Meeting, Danger, Aftermath. Meanwhile, the Fantasia Short the piece was used for is mainly set on Mt. Olympus... In other words, in the sky, reflecting Sora's name. Over on Riku's side, the Nutcracker is a ballet about a prince who was transformed into something useless, but saved, returned to his true form and then went on to protect his land. This can be loosely applied to Riku's own story. Meanwhile, the Fantasia Short which used the music depicts the change of seasons and nature, heavily featuring flowers and the like as it does so... Which fits with Riku's name, "land", as opposed to Sora's "sky". This is reflected in their Reality Shifts for that world too: Sora's Reality Shift manipulates Clouds and Wind, while Riku's causes flowers to bloom and lakes to freeze over with solid ice to stand on (Somewhat creating "land").
• Sora is The "Fourth" Musketeers. - P Miller 1
• The fact that Riku was actually a Dream Eater inside Sora's dreams for the entirety of the exam bugged me at first, but then I realized... what's a Dream Eater? It's the form darkness takes in the sleeping worlds!
• A fridge heartwarming: The reason why Neku's Spirits is a Neko Cat is becasue it show the two thing that he love, The Music and artis CAT. - P Miller 1

Fridge Horror

• The TWEWY Gang were all recreated by Joshua from pieces of their memory following Shibuya's destruction by The Heartless, right? Then what happened to the originals? This Troper does not think a Reapers Game can save them now...
  • It could be Worse...
  • A more optimistic interpretation is that since most of the worlds destroyed by the Heartless were restored at the end of KHI, and Shibuya isn't seen in the Realm of Sleep (where all the worlds that weren't perfectly restored went), the originals are safe and sound back on their own world. On the other hand, it doesn't seem Joshua knows... but maybe he's just a dream recreation too. After all, Yen Sid did say that everything that Sora and Riku saw in those worlds were just dreams, including the people they met.
    • Or Maybe Joshua did know, But by the fact he can't interfere with the other Player in the RG.
• Why are there so many Heartless if there isn't a lot of people among the worlds? Well this troper can think that there is one world that Could Hold At least 582 and Maybe More... Shibuya. - P Miller 1
  • And we know all about Radiant Garden and it's Lab of Pods. - P Miller 1
• Look at the game's boxart. Riku's eyes are open and he is facing upward while Sora is downward, eyes closed, Micky attempting to help him. This pretty much proves that Sora is the one falling in the potholes this time.
