  • 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).
