Two Recurring Themes Populate the Kingdom Hearts Series: 1. True Power Comes from Friendship and Connections with Others 2 Two recurring themes populate the Kingdom Hearts series: 1. True power comes from friendship and connections with others 2. Women are useless The protagonist of the game is Sora, but first, background: Kingdom Hearts is the heart of all worlds and a source of immense power. It is controlled by a weapon called the x-blade (not to be confused with keyblade), which acts as its key. Long ago thousands of people used keyblades (not to be confused with the x-blade), magical weapons that can lock and unlock stuff and also have lots of other powers, to fight for control of the x-blade (not to be confused with the keyblades, which they already had). In the process the world was split into lots of different pieces which were then walled off from each other with a substance called gummi. In the less-distant past, Xehanort, a boy from Destiny Islands, escapes his tiny world and becomes a keyblade master in his own right. He learned that there are many worlds (which is supposed to be a secret) because Xehanort-from-the-present sends a version of himself back in time to tell him about it and then tells him to travel to a bunch of different places because time travel requires that a version of one’s self must be present at the time and place. More on that later. He’s friends with Eraqus and Yen Sid who are also keyblade masters, but then they aren’t friends anymore because Xehanort is evil (but later he pretends to be good). Xehanort wants to obtain the x-blade (not keyblade) so he can use Kingdom Hearts to get lots of power. Yen Sid trains Mickey to be a keyblade master, Eraqus trains Terra and Aqua, and Xehanort trains Ventus, but then he takes all the darkness out of Ventus’s heart and turns it into Vanitas and dumps Ventus with Eraqus in the Land of Departure, which exists on the border between the Realm of Light (where pretty much the entire series happens) and the Realm of Darkness, which is made of darkness. Xehanort has a two-part plan with Eraqus’s pupils. 1. Get Terra the gullible dupe to succumb to the darkness in his heart so that Xehanort can take over his body, and 2. Get Ventus to become stronger so that he and Vanitas can fight; he believes the clash of pure light and pure darkness will re-create the x-blade. He also kills Eraqus in the process. Aqua, being a useless woman, tries and fails to get Ventus to return home and to prevent Terra from falling to the darkness. When she tries to free Terra’s body from Xehanort’s control, she fails so hard she gets trapped in the Realm of Darkness. Before that, however, in an act of non-useless womanness unparallelled in the series, she and Mickey manage to break the imperfect x-blade with her keyblade. This really messes up Ven (since it was made from his heart), so she transforms the Land of Departure into Castle Oblivion so that no one can use it to upset the balance of the Realms and so that Ven’s body has a place to recover. In the meantime, Ven unconsciously shoves his heart into Sora, and Xehanort is taken in as the apprentice of Ansem the Wise, the ruler of Radiant Garden. This all happens ten years before the start of the series proper. A year later, Xehanort learns about the Heartless, creatures of pure darkness born when someone’s heart is stolen from his or her body. (If the person has a strong will, this also creates a Nobody left over from their lifeless body and they retain their sentience as a Heartless if they become one voluntarily). Xehanort gets Xehanort’s other apprentices and some castle guards to overthrow Ansem and trap him in the Realm of Darkness, and then Xehanort takes Ansem’s name. The exact reason for this isn’t given, but if my name was Xehanort, I’d want to change it too. Then he split himself into a Heartless and a Nobody (in the process, doing the same to those other apprentices) for another two-point plan. 1. Time travel is hard but it’s easier when you don’t have a body, so Heartless-Xehanort (aka Ansem, Seeker of Darkness) travels back in time to tell young Xehanort that stuff I mentioned before, then returns to the present to look for Kingdom Hearts and corrupt the hearts of various world to plunge them into darkness. 2. As part of his new plan to create the x-blade, he wants seven hearts of light and thirteen hearts of darkness. Nobody-Xehanort (aka Xemnas) creates an organization to gather thirteen powerful Nobodies to create those hearts of Darkness. Xemnas, Xemnas’s lackey Braig, and those other apprentices become the first members of Organization XIII. The outpouring of Heartless turns Radiant Garden into Hollow Bastion, and then Maleficent moves in like a hermit crab and basically takes credit for Xehanort’s evil. The citizens of Radiant Garden are either turned into Heartless or wind up in a place called Traverse Town that seems to exist just for this. FINALLY, we get to the beginning of Kingdom Hearts. The series follows protagonist Sora, his best friend Riku (whom Terra had chosen as his keyblade successor), and his aggressively useless love interest Kairi. Literally all Kairi has to do to fulfill her role in the preservation of the world is stay alive, and she doesn’t even do that right. They all live on Destiny Islands together until Ansem comes and fucks shit up. In the process Kairi’s heart is removed and then shoved into Sora. This creates the Nobody Namine, who becomes important later. Riku starts giving in to the darkness so Terra’s keyblade chooses to stick with Sora instead. Meanwhile, Mickey goes to the Realm of Darkness without warning and tells his subjects Donald and Goofy to go find the keyblade wielder; Pluto tags along. Minnie and Daisy stay behind because they are more useless than Pluto. Sora winds up in Traverse Town and joins up with Donald and Goofy (who are able to travel between worlds because they have a ship made from gummi), while Riku winds up in Hollow Bastion and Maleficent turns him into her new apprentice and manipulates him towards evil. Sora travels to a bunch of different Disney worlds and beating up baddies and locking the worlds’ hearts so that darkness can’t destroy them like it did to Destiny Island and others. At the same time, Maleficent is gathering the Seven Princesses of Hearts, who have hearts free from darkness, and Riku finds Kairi’s body. Eventually Sora winds up in Hollow Bastion where Riku tells him the Keyblade was meant for him and so he takes it and blah blah blah it turns out the real power was friendship and Sora gets the Keyblade back, like, an hour later. After this, Riku is so embarrassed that he lets Heartless-Xehanort take over his body. He forms a special fake keyblade from the six princess hearts Maleficent gathered that can unlock people’s hearts. Heartless-Xehanort-Ansem-Riku tells Sora that Kairi is the seventh princess (from Radiant Garden, originally; Aqua cast a spell to keep Kairi safe by sending her to Destiny Islands, and then it stopped working in time for Destiny Islands to be destroyed too since Aqua is a woman) and that her heart is shoved inside Sora’s body. Then Sora beats Riku like a red-headed step-child and uses the fake keyblade to release his heart; this creates a conscious Heartless and also a Nobody called Roxas, who again will become important later. Sora’s Heartless finds Kairi and turns back into a person. There are multiple types of Kingdom Hearts, and Heartless-Xehanort has been plunging worlds into darkness to create a Kingdom Hearts made from the hearts of worlds (which is yellow). Nobody-Xehanort, meanwhile, is trying to create a Kingdom Hearts made from the hearts of people (which is blue), since when a heartless is destroyed by a keyblade, it gets added to that Kingdom Hearts. More on that later. Sora follows Heartless-Xehanort to the Kingdom Hearts of worlds and beats him up; Riku and Mickey are on the Realm of Darkness side, and Sora, Riku, and Mickey seal yellow Kingdom Hearts (which is a moon shaped like a heart but it’s also a door at the same time), which returns the worlds Heartless-Xehanort destroyed to the Realm of Light, except for a few, which are kinda stuck in between as “sleeping worlds”. Organization XIII, by the way, now includes Roxas, and they’re using him to keep capturing hearts for their Kingdom Hearts; Roxas can wield Ven’s keyblade, so Xemnas uses him to help make blue Kingdom Hearts. Also, remember Namine, from earlier? Well, she’s also a Nobody, but she’s not a member of Organization XIII, but she does have the power to manipulate Sora’s memories for some reason. They also make an artificial replica of Sora called Xion who can also wield the keyblade for reasons that make less sense. Sora, Riku, and MIckey all wind up in Castle Oblivion--Riku and Mickey in the basement, Sora, Donald, and Goofy on the ground floor. Xemnas has sent several members of Organization XIII to Castle Oblivion, where he intends to use Axel, Sora, and RIku to kill off the members he thinks are too weak or too strongheaded to become his vessels.

  • The Theme Park Experience: Kingdom Hearts and the Franchise
    The theme park experience: Kingdom Hearts and the franchise Anh-Thu Nguyen University of Cologne Albertus-Magnus-Platz 50923 Cologne 0221 4705745 [email protected] Keywords Kingdom Hearts, Disney, Square Enix, convergence culture, transmedia, franchise, literary theory, tourist gaze INTRODUCTION When Henry Jenkins first spoke of convergence culture, he prophesised an increase in media companies exploring narrative universes, creating ways for the consumer to “buy into new kinds of experiences with those characters and those worlds” by “incorporating transmedia principles into their work.” (2006, 134-135) More than a decade later, his premonition on the expansion of media franchises certainly rings true with regards to the Marvel or Star Wars universe, whose narratives have been extended to cinema screens, comics or games. They are “entertainment for the age of media convergence, integrating multiple texts to create a narrative so large that it cannot be contained in a single medium.” (97) Although there are numerous sources that concern themselves with franchises in general, seldom is the subject of study a video game franchise. Hence, the on-going research takes the Kingdom Hearts (Square Enix 2002-2019) series as its primary study subject, in the context of a transnational collaboration between Disney and Japanese video game developer, Square Enix. The core questions concern themselves with franchise-building and transmedia storytelling, with an approach rooted in narrative theory to unravel the different layers of a video game franchise. THE CHARACTER AS A TOURIST Making sense of any media franchise is often challenging as the various texts holding the franchise together offer a substantial number of narrative arcs and any attempt to address those would divert from actual productive analysis.

  • The Effects of Disney Princess Movies on Girls
    The Effects of Disney Princess Movies on Girls By Camille Porter-Phillips Eighth grade project research paper Hilltown Cooperative Charter Public School June 2014 1 Introduction Personally, before this project, I thought that the Disney princesses were foolish. People have been watching Disney movies for nearly 100 years and through the course of this project I realized that they are actually really foolish and my beliefs were affirmed. Since the Walt Disney company started in 1923 (Gillies), its movies have become very widespread and pervasive. My question is, have Disney princess movies affected girls? In this essay I will show that watching princess movies affects girls’ independence and body image. I will first give a background of Disney and their princesses, then show how the princess films might affect girls and then describe how to evaluate them. Background The first princess movie the Walt Disney company produced was Snow White, in 1937. It was the first animated feature film to come out of the0 U.S. (Disney). Next came Cinderella, in 1950. Then Sleeping Beauty in 1959. Thirty years later in 1989 The Little Mermaid came out. Then in 1991 Beauty and the Beast. The very next year in 1992 Aladdin came to theaters. Then Pocahontas, in 1995. But this was not the last one, more and more princess movies are produced by Disney every few years. Snow White is about a girl who runs away from an evil queen because the queen wants to kill Snow White. When she meets 12 dwarfs she is happy to cook and take care of them.
