Kingdom Key. An old honor that was given to heroes and the most trusted stretching back to medieval times was the Key to the City, which was at the time a literal key to the gates of the city's outer walls. This meant one with the Key to the City was given the right to leave and enter the city whenever they wanted, regardless of the time or circumstances. Who is Sora? The one who will open the door to light. He wields the Kingdom Key. The Key to the Kingdom. What's the most important thing for which the series is named?
This is interesting theory, except...even if the keyblade chose Sora over Riku, it doesn't matter because...Riku ALREADY HAS A KEYBLADE!!! Riku's keyblade chose him too so...I wanna know how Kairi got the keyblade? and NO, I'm ain't accepting that Riku just gave Kairi that flowery keyblade he just had lying around somewhere, where did that keyblade come from?
In birth by sleep in radiant gardens you have to play aqua story kari as a young girl was running from the unversed holding some flowers in her hands when aqua appears she see that she was in danger and that was when kari ran to aqua and touched the handle of her keyblade after aqua beats the unversed kari gave her the flowers with would of been the Destiny (flower keyblade chain) and in turn aqua put a magic protection spell on kari to find a light of another to keep her safe she was someone who needed to be protected but as of how riku found it and gave it to kari I have no idea but I hope this helps
If it was really meant for Riku it should've never went to Sora.
I completely agree with this theory and have always thought this as a fact, yet to be stated... Because of this, I believe the Kingdom Key is not Sora's true Keyblade and he might have a true Keyblade yet to obtain...
Also, HMK has a theory on there being a Kingdom Key of Nothing, the between of Light & Dark... I wonder if that'll be a thing in KH3...
I find it strange that the Kingdom Key chooses its wielder when no other Keyblade in the series behaves like this. In addition, it can exist as multiple instances thanks to Roxas and Xion. They're not copies. They are the same weapon. It appears to be part of the X-Blade. Lastly, Kingdom Key D was created when the Kingdom Key was created. It exists in the Dark Realm yet is a Keyblade of light not darkness. There is something bizarre about it.
Lastly, in the Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer, Sora is still able to summon and use the Kingdom Key in "Unreality" (i.e. a dimension outside the normal Kingdom Hearts one) even though Sora was supposed to be stripped of his powers from abusing the Power of Waking and rewriting fate.
Maybe the events around Sora's entire life is why his Keyblade is so unique?
There is also this weird constant with Sora: "The brighter your light, the greater the darkness draws toward it". This may seem to be explaining the nature of Heartless in general being attracted to brighter light despite "fearing" it. This may refer to Sora's darkness that has not been pointed out explicitly in the series yet. In Kingdom Hearts 1, Sora is turned into a Shadow Heartless (despite how strong his hard is supposed to be), retains his consciousness and will and reverts back. In Kingdom Hearts 2, Sora has an Anti-Form (i.e. a shadow Heartless form) where Sora loses access to the Kingdom Key temporarily but gains power and overwhelms opponents with animalistic fury that is more likely to trigger during stressful moments (i.e. boss battles). Lastly, in Kingdom Hearts 3, Sora gains access to Rage Form if he receives enough punishment in battle. Rage Form seems stronger than Anti-Form and allows Sora to continue using the Kingdom Key. I am expecting in Kingdom Hearts 4 for Sora to start tapping more into this dark power in order to return home.
Sora doesn't have the ability to wield the keyblade because of Ven's heart. The keyblade just chose him over riku because Riku was giving in to the darkness and had been weakened.
If sora could wield because of ven he wouldn't be able to dual wield. In order to dual wield you need 2 hearts that can wield a keyblade.
@@johnpantag472 Ventus is literally a sperate heart from Sora.
@@johnpantag472 How does that theory solve how Roxas can dual wield?
@@RagnarokAvatar Ven's Heart was inside Sora when he created Roxas, which is why Roxas looks more like Ventus than Sora. Since Roxas was born from the Hearts of two Keyblade Wielders, his own Heart internalized that, which is why he can Dual-wield so naturally
I think you clearly did not understand why Sora got Rikus Keyblade. Riku was chosen in the beginning by the Kingdom Key, the keyblade of the realm of light. It showed in this exact moment because his world was going to be swallowed by darkness, to protect him. However, since Riku didn't resist the darkness, it went down the line and took the next person it could find, Sora. This is also explained again in Kingdom Hearts 3D by young xehanort when he explains why they want to make Sora a Xehanort vessel. He states that Riku has a resistance to the darkness and that they did the same as the keyblade did, they went down the line to the next best person.
And in that moment where it went to Sora, it was no longer meant for Riku, which is why it didn't stay with him even after he took it in Traverse Town and later in Hollow Bastion. Rikus heart was fallen into darkness and thus, became unsuitable for the keyblade fo the realm of light.
I know why but this is a THEORY
Yeah but I think this completely disproves your theory
The problem with this is that almost every keyblade is from the realm of light. You also don't have to be a warrior of light to wield a keyblade of light. You can be a warrior of darkness and wield a keyblade of light and vice versa. Look at King Mickey for example, he's a warrior of light that wields a keyblade from the realm of darkness. Tetsuya Nomura has stated this in an interview on KH13.
+Pez Pro its not about riku not being able to wield the keyblade because his heart turned to darkness, its about rikus light reflecting off of sora. ever notice how the only time we see destiny islands in darkness is when the world fell into darkness? its because the DESTINY being referred to is the destiny of the suns setting and when the sun sets, its light reflects off of the moon! this is why kingdom hearts is a moon because its the light in the darkness. check out my vids if you want to know more.
Yacob Black Not quite sure where you got the theory, but I'm willing to hear it out. As far as everyone in the KH community is concerned, supposedly Sora got it from Riku because he was consumed by darkness. It's never really made clear as to if it's Riku's light, because that would indicate the the light from Riku's heart gave Sora the keyblade, meaning because his heart turned to darkness. Well of course the only time we see it in darkness is when it's falling into darkness, that's why he had to seal all of the hearts of the worlds, so the darkness wouldn't consume them (The Worlds). I appreciate the connections that you're putting together and it sounds like a really interesting theory, but I can't really find anymore information on it. I tried looking for it on your channel, but I found nothing. If there were more clues or possibly statements made by the creators, like Sora meaning Moon and Riku meaning Sun, then I could be more persuaded to see your point of view. Without, it just looks like another theory. If you could link me to your video, I'll be sure to check it out. Thanks!
Remember guys this is all theoretical just in case u may be confused on how I structure my sentence
6:14 honestly,that point is also used for the version in which its rikus keyblade.it went to sora because he was the one resisting the darkness.
and riku didnt really "get another chance" by usual means.maleficent helped him to combine his ability to wield one and his dark potential and thus a nonkeyblade(souleater) was created and it later evolved to a keyblade that suited his heart better.and no,its not impossible to evolve and then later revert,we see it in bbs and kh2 in which terras keyblade is earthshaker but lingering wills keyblade is called something else(i dont remember right now).
thats because earthshaker evolved when he met riku and that keyblade became the new actual keyblade while the standartform became a keychain.so it wouldnt be out of the question that riku would be able to wield both way to dawn AND souleater,as he doesnt even need souleater to be a keychain as its not even technicly the same type of summonable sword
I found it interesting that in Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, Xehanort and other characters point out that Sora wasn't chosen by the keyblade, but then data Ansem the wise tells Riku that only Sora can save those that are lost.
I do sometimes wonder if "the keyblade" refers to the kingdom key because its some kind of primordial keyblade. I mean the x blade has two on it so the kingdom key is old old in kh universe. Maby the final version all keyblades spring from.
the keyblade wielder allows someone else to wield it, just Leon wasn't a friend of sora's With Roxas the oblivion belonged to sora's heart while oathkeeper belonged with Xion but Xion is no more, not to mention Roxas and Xion accidentally did the inherientice ceremony which explains why Roxas is capable of two keyblades, also explains why he has TWO kingdom keys in the final level of 358/2 days yeah the keyblades Oblivion and Oath Keeper were both Kingdom Keys before becoming the oath Keeper and Oblivion, which only means that it was Xion's keyblade and tetsuya numora doesn't want to spoil Xion's return
Roxas never did the inheritance ceremony. He is sofas nobody so he automatically has the right to sora keyblade and he was housing Ventus heart while he was alive so he could also wield Ventus keyblade. While Roxas was around sora would have been unable to dual wield because he didn't have vens heart. Xion has a fake heart that is taking power I.e the keyblade from Roxas. The only ones who did the inheritance ceremony were riku and kairi (albeit the latter was on accident)
***** it was just easily overlooked but what explains dual kingdom keys?
*EDIT* sora cannot pull this off with Valor Master and final
+Noir Lilbomber sofa
+TheKHfan358over3d if I have 2 hearts of keyblade wielder S then u can dual wield
***** ahuh but still what explains dual kingdom keys with Roxas in 358/2 days
Is it possible to say when Riku and Sora were getting pulled into the darkness that because Sora has Ven's heart the light saved Sora and it drew the Keyblade. Your theory on using another's keyblade would be correct but that also means since it was able to be used by both Sora and Riku it could've gone to either so if Riku hadn't given into darkness the kingdom key would be his. That means Ven's heart could give Sora a keyblade if he ever clashed with darkness at a later point if kh1 played differently.
the kingdom key is rikus its how he opened the door in the secret place.
Yacob Black what?
This is very late for a reply, but Nomura confirmed in an Ultimania interview that the way Sora obtained the keyblade was directly related to Riku's heart's light; when Riku's heart's darkness swarmed around them & their islands, Sora reached toward Riku and effectively "touched" Riku's heart's light, which then allowed him to temporarily seize Kingdom Key for himself. This is irrefutable proof that Kingdom Key was always first meant to be Riku's. While Riku's darkness was expanding & going haywire, his light also shone brightly from within. The way Sora appropriated the keyblade as well as Riku & his entire character arc, lines up perfectly with the KH line "the closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes". When Terra first saw Sora & Riku as children, remember that Sora wasn't the one who caught his eye; it was Riku who was giving off tremendous light, enough to make him believe he was led here to meet the boy. Throughout the series, Riku shifts from one extreme to the other, intense darkness to intense light, not being able to find the balance that was right for him. His decision to follow the path to dawn is part of that struggle, and through it he ultimately figured out how to utilize his dark power for good. Also, we know that each person's keyblade reflects themselves somehow (examples are Kairi's & Lea's keyblades). If we look at the Kingdom key, the color scheme is silver, yellow and blue, a design choice made to more closely match Riku.The mickey-head keychain itself could be foreshadowing how closely tied Riku & Mickey's destinies are, since the King would eventually become a compassionate friend as integral to Riku as Donald & Goofy are to Sora. I think Riku being so close to Mickey in general is a testament to why the kingdom key was absolutely meant for him to begin with; & to top it all off, Mickey has Kingdom Key D, the Kingdom Key's counterpart from the realm of darkness. (also, Riku's new keyblade Braveheart has what appears to be a silver mickey keychain, so..)
Is there a source that is translated? I've wanted to see this but never been able to get a link or anything. I've said it before, intent vs chosen. I have other theories about those chosen by keyblades and those who have had the power passed on to them.
KewlImp Here’s the link for translated quotes straight from Nomura about how Sora obtained kingdom key from Riku, hope that’s the info you’re referring to? kh-ultimania.livejournal.com/3508.html (under “pg. 532”) Also just in general if you ever need to get sources i recommend Khinsider, they have essentially all interviews translated & organized by game. They generally make sure all the sources are properly translated too, & it’s where i got this source.
Hmmm. It feels really retconny but its from the horse's mouth on this one. Playing through the game, it appears the keyblade choose him over Riku who it was intended for. But it is what it is.
in the events in kingdom hearts 1. sora already had connections to the kingdom key with the trails you go threw in the beginning. so all alone the kingdom key was. i wanna say making a contract. with sora. and then yes when he needed it, it came. and i believe your right. a weilder can channel another weapon if the strength difference in heart is huge.
Ok I believe you
Okay I believe you
True they can wield others keyblades. Sora uses Riku's and his own to kill Xemnas. Riku gives Kairi a Keyblade. And during the Sora vs Roxas fight you can use his keyblades against him. Though the last one is a game mechanic. It's a reaction command and those seem to count as canon cinema cutscenes.
I love and agree with this theory. Enough said. Nomura lied
Namura introduced time travel into the plot, so he cannot be trusted.
If you tie this theory with the one where Sora is the embodiment of kingdom hearts this theory came to play because of how Sora makes connections with people. Sora has the crown resting above his heart like the logo. The kingdom key probably belongs to kingdom hearts it's really the only key blade that looks like an actual key it makes sense to me.
Nomura actually explained that it was rikus keyblade and that sora only was able to obtain it when he touched rikus light on destiny islands. if you take a look at the cover of Kingdom hearts 1 you will see sora standing in the light of the moon which is in the shape of a heart. in KHUnchained x we all get a default keyblade called star light. there are many worlds but they share the same sky, one sky one destiny. we are talking about the destiny of the sun here, which is riku. if a keyblade IS starlight, which it is, then what happens when the star that is the sun sets? its light reflects off of the surface of the moon giving the moon the starlight and making the moon the light of the world instead of the sun even though the light does belong and come from the sun, the moon can touch the sun's starlight and becomes the light of the world. kingdom hearts is the light in the darkness right? well when its dark where do you put the light? thats right, you put it on the moon. the moon is the light in the darkness. ive done videos on all of this, maybe you should check em out.
also the main reason you guys are wrong is because it is explained in kingdom hearts re coded that riku was the one who opened that door in the secret place and he did that with the power of the keyblade.
I know this is an old response but can I get a source on this? I've seen this said before. Intended recipient vs chosen by keyblade itself.
Good shit with this video man
Umm sorry to say but I disagree with this theory, 5 chosen wielders have been placed: aqua, terra, ventus, kairi, riku. Therefore the sixth wielder is the one not first chosen by the keyblade yet is still able to wield it. Riku is a wielder because Terra gave Riku his keyblade to hold, even though it is a ceremony for a master Terra passed on being chosen from him to Riku and Aqua did same to Kairi, Ventus didnt let Sora touch his keyblade at least from what I remember so that validates 5 chosen from 6 keyblade wielders, im not too sure how Mickey and Axel fall into it though, therefore the Kingdom Key was meant for Riku but because of the Darkness in his heart he was not found worthy anymore so it found another wielder.
Mike Russell im pretty sure Xion and Roxas wield Keyblades because of Sora
and actually Mickey has the Potential to dual wield since the Kingdom Key D originates from the realm of darkness, and we see Mickey using his star seeker in RE:coded And yes RE:coded is canon.
U can only dual wield if u have 2 hearts
***** I always thought the Kingdom Key D was a seperate keyblade from mickey's main keyblade
+TheKHfan358over3d it is Mickey switched keyblades
***** A serious question. I am wondering in RE:coded Mickey Decides to use his star seeker, I'm betting it's an error
I personally thought that Sora being in the right place at the right time and also that him just so happening to have the ability to wield a keyblade was a bit too coincidental.
There are no coincidences. Sora was always meant to wield a Keyblade, but since no Master performed the ceremony, destiny had to provide unusual circumstances to allow him to obtain one.
Nomura confirmed Ventus is not the reason why Sora has a keyblade, he got it because he touched Riku's light on Destiny Islands. However Ventus is the reason why Roxas and Sora can wield two Keybaldes in KH2.
Jordan Cruz where’s the source for this
Noir Lilbomber ooh booshie response but www.google.com/amp/s/aminoapps.com/c/kingdom-hearts/amp/blog/soras-roxass-dual-keyblade-wielding-debunked/v5qj_7Efnu1VBQNDEqRmdkwm7Vdp1jkB4R
Noir Lilbomber and I'm not looking for that old ass interview with Nomura but here is a page with people who had read it kh13.com/forum/topic/65448-sora-and-ventus-kh3-talk/
Jordan Cruz yeah, I already knew where Soras dual wielding comes from. But I’m saying the only reason Sora can have his keyblade at all is because ventus is inside him. He was at the right place at the right time.
Jordan Cruz no one disputes this
Xion wasn't an experiment she was his nobody that's why she belonged to soras and only after the two nobody's were returned to soras was he able to wake up
DaddysBac Gaming do you not know the story? Xion was a replica of Roxas made from Soras memories from the replica program that Vexen made. She is not a real nobody
I know this is your Deery but what happened if Sora and Riku heart together
Kingdom Hearts Theory | The Kingdom Key WAS meant for Sora and NOT FOR RIKU OMG FINISH THE SENTENCE PERSON
+HMK
why are you obsessed with Xion? lmao. she was a puppet made from Sora's memories, she doesn't exist anymore
+Mike Russell yes
S R. So?
Great video, man! I also did a video on this theory a while back. You should check it out and see if it adds to yours. Malificent also tried to use Sora.
👍
Hey just wanted to say xion is soras nobody not kiris no one gets two nobody's
Um... what? Your statement is completely wrong. (I know this is an old comment but I just have to)
Roxas is sora's nobody
Namine is kairi's nobody
Xion is a fake puppet made from sora' s memories, she isn't a nobody to anyone
I wish I could see the dislikes.
Only at 19 just checked
@@NoirLilbomber Great. Great to see the community agree and not hate on someone's opinion.
Nope, the Keyblade was meant for Riku, because he inherited it from Terra. Sora had the keyblade because Riku was taken over by the darkness, and the fact Ven's heart is in Sora's makes him compatible with the Keyblade.
Sora could have the Keyblade because of Riku and mostly Ven, and thus couldn't get it from himself.
Sorry, but your theory is straight wrong, this possibility you're talking about doesn't exist.
Bravinoname did u even watch the full video before writing your comment
no its meant for riku
Did u watch the "THEORY" fully
***** yes but this is what I believe riku was meant to wield the keyblade but sora had ven's heart inside him which let him keep riku's keyblade and I know what your going to say but Riku got another keyblade but that just evolved from the sword that he had in kingdom hearts 1 and he also had xehanort's heartless keyblade so the keyblade just rejected riku's dark energy
+Brayden Sibley very solid point but remember the fact I brought out about someone getting a second chance with a keyblade and keyblades come when the time is right to its wielder
***** second chance see say sora got his own keyblade and Riku got the kingdom key the story would be completely different right?
+Brayden Sibley yeah but there's no way another keyblade would have gone to sora
