Phoenix are you okay if I make a master post of all the kh analyses you’ve done? I’m not sure if you have one

Absolutely, feel free to do it! And thank you for asking, I really appreciate it :) I do have a couple links to a lot of the posts on the web version of my blog, but I don’t think people can see it on mobile, so a master post would be really nice!

ilovemybirdy replied to your post “I hope KH3 doesn’t try to to force Sokai onto us like it did with KH2...”

I understand your point with dream drop distance but I think whether or not it was forced in kh2 is a very subjective opinion is all

If they had bothered to give Kairi development and screentime I might of had a different opinion on it. That’s my biggest problem with the series, she is supposed to be the main female protagonist but has been given squat to do that makes me care about her character. So watching it unfold in KH2 was all just, “Ugh.”, Nomura you want me to care but I need substance to care. And it’s awful for Kairi herself, it’s not her fault the writer’s aren’t doing anything with her.

Shout out to @ilovemybirdy for making dreams come true.😭

Anyone of you lovely followers have basic video editing skills? I need a certain song played over a kh scene cause I can’t stop thinking about it. But I have no editing stuff!!

That one scenes with Mickey and Riku in the realm of darkness: Is it a joke that got lost in translation? I don’t understand why Riku freaks out when Mickey says that aqua is like sora

I can finally properly answer this! I got Volume 1 of the KH3 novel today, and it offers insights into Riku’s thoughts about the situation. Basically, I think he’s a little concerned about the thought of another person as carefree as Sora running around, haha. Mickey is quick to reassure him that what he meant was Aqua’s heart is strong like Sora’s, which puts him at ease.

The dialogue in the novel looks to be lifted straight from the games with a few tweaks for formatting. My translation is a lot looser than normal, because I thought hey, I’m translating a short snipped from a novel, why not go for a more natural sounding translation as opposed to a more literal one? 

Japanese Version

「アクアは、ソラに似てるよ」

「ええっ！？」

ミッキーからこぼれた意外な言葉に、リクは大声をあげる。

あの能天気なソラと、かつて自分を助けてくれたアクアが似ている……？

「いやいや、心の強さがね」

慌てたよ��に、ミッキーが言った。

「そうか。まぁ、ソラに似てるなら少しは安心かな。あいつなら、どんな深い闇に飲まれても負けない」

Free Translation

“Aqua’s like Sora.”

“Huh?!”

Hearing such an unexpected thing from Mickey, Riku couldn’t help but raise his voice.

Aqua, the person who had once saved him, was like Sora? Sora, with his laid-back, happy-go-lucky, carefree attitude?

“No no no, I mean her heart’s strong like Sora’s,” Mickey hurriedly answered.

“Really? Well, if she’s like Sora, then that makes me feel a little better. He won’t give up, no matter how deep the darkness.”

And from the game itself, for comparison:

Japanese Dialogue

Mikcey: アクアはソラに似てるよ

Riku: ええっ！？

Mickey: いやいや、心の強さがね

Riku: そうか　まっ、ソラに似てるなら少しは安心かな　あいつなら　どんな深い闇に飲まれても負けない

English Dialogue

Mickey: But Aqua… She’s like Sora.

Riku: Whaaat?!

Mickey: No no no… Strong like Sora!

Riku: Okay… Good. Then I guess she’s gonna be all right. Sora could fall into any darkness and swim his way out.

Thanks for the ask!
