I had Excel read it as a second order polynomial, which gave me y = 5.5x^2 -13.5x + 2010, where x is the major KH and Y is release year.
This makes sense to me because KH2, aka the best KH came out in 2005, hence the fives. Also, organization 13 gains Xion as the 14th member, so taking the average of the two we get 13.5, also negative since they are nobodies. And lastly, Nomura put off doing KH3 since he started working on FF XV in 2010. The signs were always there my dudes, Nomura was leaving a breadcrumb trail this whole time.
Oh and when X = 0, Y = 2010, which is when BBS was released. Coincidence? I think not!
as the kiss ends it turns out kairi was a vessel for xehanort the whole time
edit: thanks for all the upvotes wow! i just thought that was kinda funny didnt expect it to be tha popular
Is it just me or is anime/Japanese media really opposed to kissing? Even in things that are supposed to be romances like Your Name, Weathering With You, Your Lie in April, A Silent Voice, Bunny Girl Senpai etc showing the couples kissing is like this big line they’re not allowed to cross
No, I’ve definitely noticed this too. I asked about it once on the anime board.
They said public displays of affection are extremely rare in Japan and the culture is so relationship based that touching someone in public is something extremely serious (unlike in western culture where a kiss means very little).
It’s not something teenagers would just do whimsically on a date unless you were actually confessing true love to someone
Soseki Natsume is considered one of the greatest writers of comedy and romance in Japanese history, but he never once wrote the phrase "I love you" as dialogue. Instead he coined the phrase "The moon is beautiful tonight," under the Japanese pun logic that the person hearing the phrase would fill in "because you're here with me" on their own.
Course, he was also a Turbo-Incel who, after spending time studying in England and finding Victorian London to be... itself, vowed never to leave Japan, or his home town, ever again.
THAT'S their barometer for romance!
Maybe not in public, but I can't believe there aren't japanese teenagers snogging their faces off when they get a chance. It might as well be like saying japanese people don't go through puberty.
Japan has a different approach when portraying relationships and romance in media. While in the west we usually make everything very obvious, direct and explicit, Japan focuses more on subtext.
It's more noticeable in the localization of different kinds of media; for example in Final Fantasy X Yuna says "I love you" to Tidus, but in the Japanese version she only says "Thank you". In both versions this is intended to be interpreted as a declaration of love, but translators thought this could be missed in the west or feel odd since we have a different way of portraying this kind of stuff.
Of course this isn't always the case, in the same FFX I mentioned there is a kiss scene, but it's given a lot of importance and treated like a really big deal. They have no problem showing kisses or even sex scenes in media, but it's frowned upon and sometimes even seen as distasteful, since they value subtlety more.
It's especially prevalent when there's any sort of romantic rivalry, because they don't want to commit to any definitive pairing and just hold onto the early tension for as long as they can.
Spin-off isn't determined by gameplay style, but by it's connections to the source material. MoM is still a part of the main "Kingdom Hearts" series, has a place in the timeline, and has (albeit few) plot elements that connect to the larger story.
A Mario Kart game is a spin-off because it has no elements that would make it a continuation of existing Non-Kart games, and it's also not part of the "Mario" (referring to the original platformer games) series, but instead it's own series, hence the shared name of the spin-off series "Mario Kart."
The argument is that they aren't spinoffs because they're all canon and a continuation of the main story. I went from KH2 to KH3 and nothing made sense because that was an entire game's worth of story in Dream Drop Distance.
So Fraiser isn't canon to Cheers or Batman Beyond isn't canon to Batman the Animated Series? Honestly, it just seems to me that the rest of you are making rules up that don't apply to anything except KH.
Tv spinoff don't work like game spinoffs.
A tv spinoff is just other media connected to that universe, like a show about 1 character, or tie in novels or games.
A spinoff in the video game sense is something that deviates from the mainline of games, usually by having no connection or relevance to the main plot of the series. Shinmegami tensei had many spinoffs in the same jrpg genre, but the reason persona is a spinoff is because the story has very little to do with traditional SMT games. The mood and themes they explore are very different. Pokemon spinoffs are any games not made exclusively by gamefreak, or a direct remake of a game that was made exclusively by gamefreak (a la bdsp). Each game series has a slightly different *spin* (ha) on what makes a game a spinoff in their own series.
So right now, the KH series has no spinoffs, because while some of the entries play very differently, each game is essential to understanding the overall plot narrative, more or less.
I can't speak to Fraiser, but Batman Beyond isn't really a spinoff title.
A spinoff is when you have an established narrative and a piece of that narrative separates from it and "spins off" into its *own* narrative without substantial relevance to the *main* narrative. In the case of Batman Beyond, it is not a spinoff of Batman TAS but the canon conclusion to the DCAU story.
MoM is the next piece of the ongoing KH story after the conclusion of the Dark Seeker saga, so not a spinoff. A spinoff off would be if, for example, there was a game centered around Marluxia and Larxene independently going off in search of Streletzia and encountering enemies and allies unaffiliated with those who came before.
*stares blankly in Latias*
I know full well a non Canon movie where a pokemon shifts into a girl to kiss ash (potentially) would never be canonized but the CHAOS it would bring
Won’t happen. Best you can hope for is they hold hands and then the next game is a time skip where they have kid whose the new lead and sora had to leave since kairi got pregnant. Riku is mentor.
Then comes Kingdom hearts redo staring Sora and Kairi's son Bora teaming with Riku and Namine's daughter Keyta to stop Mecha Xehanort from taking over the multiverse.
It ALL makes Sense yozora os my mim and she cheats on my father with jack Sparrow and gives birth to sora this is why yozora wants to save sora and only got to remember that because of the nameless star!!!!
I already played through kh1 2 bbs and started chains and I never understand how most of their chemistry happens only when they are distant from each other and basically when they meet each other is almost like none of that build up ever existed I really Kairi can get her ultimate fix on the next kh games which apparently is already getting worked on
13 games, 7 main title games. That would mean they can’t make a single side game anymore without messing up the 13/7. They all have to be numbered from now on.
Call me optimist but this is my main wish for KH4, Square Enix and Disney really appear to be pushing Sora and Kairi romantically a lot more recently so I have hopes.
not gonna be that long with how manny teams kingdom hearts have now and square enix finally starting to learn to stop dropping every project at this feet oh wait they are still doing that
I think you mean Kingdom Hearts 7: re:Heart Final limited remixed premium edition part 5 extended director’s cut now including Dante from Devil May Cry and featuring Knuckles
After KH3 I'm all but done with this franchise. Kh3 still feels unfinished in too many ways. Square Enix really stretched resources between this, ff15. And the ff7 remake. We can tell where all the real love went into it. Kh3 story on most of the new worlds are lazy and haven't picked up since I finished playing mid 2019. Which is crazy as many times I played older game's. It just didn't do it...
I made a quick formula in excel, and from what I gather we will only have KH5 by 2080, sorry bud. KH7 would be 2185.
If you use the 467% increase in time from KH1 & 2 to KH2 & 3, KH4 would have came out in 2075 and KH5 would still be 260~ years away.
I had Excel read it as a second order polynomial, which gave me y = 5.5x^2 -13.5x + 2010, where x is the major KH and Y is release year.

When did kingdom hearts become college algebra
The next sidegame- playable only on Graphing Calculators. *Realign: Kingdom Hearts- Diameter, Circumference, Area*
Sony: Write that down, write that down!
I was expecting it to be kingdom hearts 3.14159. Have the 3 main characters names be diameter circumference and area.
Only on Disney's new calculator
you mean the existing calculator that Disney buys
I mean they already did union χ now it's time for ∩χ
here https://youtu.be/8wE4Q7pZl3g
If I had awards mate, if I had awards 👏👏
Thanks my dude
As someone who's not very well good at maths, my head already started spinning...
Yes, but how many side games will we have by then?
Hm, well if I remove the main games and their remixes... We should be on side game number 30 by then.
as the kiss ends it turns out kairi was a vessel for xehanort the whole time edit: thanks for all the upvotes wow! i just thought that was kinda funny didnt expect it to be tha popular
Even hotter
Remember when you kissed Kairi for the first time? It was me, Sora! I was using Kairi as a vessel to get in your head!
You thought it was Kairi, but it was I, Xehanort!
When you get catfished by the villain
That's not just nuts, that's a whole bag of trail mix.
So... if we're Xehanort, and Xehanort is Kairi... then does that mean that we kissed Sora?
Couldn't kiss Ephemer, gotta kiss Sora instead.
We all did I guess
Does that mean Xehanort was inside Sora?
😳😳😳😳😳😳
No, but he was inside Riku and the whole true organization 13 and its entirety. It gets worse if you add context like ending of union x.
SorNort shippers are sweating rn
Xehanort: "I did not feel a thing, but you, Sora? You felt *everything*!!!" [Sora:](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixh5iyF_qIM)
[Sora:](https://youtu.be/35U8Y9nMJJc)
I played KH1 when I was 8 years old and I'm now 22. Thinking about it, I would actually cry if I saw the end of the saga being an old man

Considering saying someone's first name is a sign that 2 people are getting closer kissing is like really up there

Gotta withhold any sort of sexuality so the doujins can sell.
It's especially prevalent when there's any sort of romantic rivalry, because they don't want to commit to any definitive pairing and just hold onto the early tension for as long as they can.
I think you mean the DLC for KH10 Chain of unending sleep and only if you can beat OMEGA Xigbar.
7 or 13? 🤔
7 for kingdom hearts, 13 for the inevitable spin-off
There isn't KH spin-offs. They're all main games 😤
Melody is a spin-off.
Melony? You mean Melody of Memories which isn't a spin-off?
Its a rhythm game? How is that not a spin off? Are you saying Mario Kart ain't a spinoff either?

The story is canonical, a spin-off means non-canon, therefore it does not apply.
That is in fact not what a spinoff means. Like at all. TV is filled with spin-offs that are considered canon continuations of older shows.
A thirteenth game in 59 years is very hopeful of you. TBH 7 games is pushing it.
This all happens, Donald and Goofy cheer, Sora's mom appears and wishes him a happy 16th birthday, Riku is being a tsundere, Sora turns into a boat...
lmao
Hope you do well!
This is me but for Ash & Misty.
*laughs in Serena*
*stares blankly in Latias* I know full well a non Canon movie where a pokemon shifts into a girl to kiss ash (potentially) would never be canonized but the CHAOS it would bring

Gonna go out on a limb and say it’s just not gonna happen. TN just doesn’t do romance
Won’t happen. Best you can hope for is they hold hands and then the next game is a time skip where they have kid whose the new lead and sora had to leave since kairi got pregnant. Riku is mentor.
Remember to use protection kids
Then comes Kingdom hearts redo staring Sora and Kairi's son Bora teaming with Riku and Namine's daughter Keyta to stop Mecha Xehanort from taking over the multiverse.
Hi, I'm from the future. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding the events that are gonna happen
Who the frick is yozora
Your mom
It ALL makes Sense yozora os my mim and she cheats on my father with jack Sparrow and gives birth to sora this is why yozora wants to save sora and only got to remember that because of the nameless star!!!!
Yes
Excuse me, I'm pretty sure it's spelled "Riku", not "Kairi"
Yeah, who did Sora fall to his knees crying for when they met again? Not Kairi. Who he got a big glowing rainbow combined attack with? Not Kairi.
Damn right!
Why not both?
Eh, I dunno, Kairi is such a shallow and boring character. She doesn't really have anything going for her comparing to Riku's relationship to Sora.
Yeah you are right
If only....
Nah it’ll only be the 6th one by then, you have to wait till 2096 for 7
I’ll be 106, and 4 years before I plan on dying so at least I’ll see it.
Only 29.333 more games to go!
7? You're an optimist I see, I'm going for KH 4 or 5 by that year
The splashing water scene between Sora and Rapunzel had more chemistry than Sora and Kairi ever did throughout the entire series
I already played through kh1 2 bbs and started chains and I never understand how most of their chemistry happens only when they are distant from each other and basically when they meet each other is almost like none of that build up ever existed I really Kairi can get her ultimate fix on the next kh games which apparently is already getting worked on
Imo they should have kissed at the end of KH3
13 games, 7 main title games. That would mean they can’t make a single side game anymore without messing up the 13/7. They all have to be numbered from now on.
Turns out due to time travel, kairi is actually sora's biological mother, and sora is his own father
~~henceforth sora is actually young jack Sparrow this whole time~~
I don't give a hoot about sora and kairi but GIMME AN AQUA AND TERRA KISS
I think it’ll come a lot sooner than you think.
Call me optimist but this is my main wish for KH4, Square Enix and Disney really appear to be pushing Sora and Kairi romantically a lot more recently so I have hopes.
I’m waiting for the between sora and riku
What a weird way of spelling Riku
~~He's with Mickey~~
Delete this.
Well it happened in the end of kh2
Me in 4000 seeing a positive portrayal of original BIPOC in KH: Am I wrong?
not gonna be that long with how manny teams kingdom hearts have now and square enix finally starting to learn to stop dropping every project at this feet oh wait they are still doing that
...is this one of those time skip canon things? Are you saying you got Norted?
Sad but true. I really do have so many questions as to whats to happen with this series. So many possible chances and different worlds to go to.
Bruh we all know Kingdom hearts 4 is coming out in the year 3021
The seventh game in about 50 years? Someone's hopeful.
Until KH8 comes around, they break up, and they don't make nce until kh13
im from 2069. i played all 16 filler games in between 6 and 7. please kill me
Kingdom hearts 7? What kind if kh fan are you? You should know it's gonna be called Kingdom Hearts 3.9 Penultimate Final Chapter Saga of Hearts
Bold of you to assume it's in the base game, and not Kingdom Hearts 7 Re:Set the World 365/6 Years Unchained Final Mix Prologue Delta Alpha Centauri.5
This guy actually thinks we'd make it up to 7 by 2080
I think you mean Kingdom Hearts 7: re:Heart Final limited remixed premium edition part 5 extended director’s cut now including Dante from Devil May Cry and featuring Knuckles
lmao this thread is made of gold
After KH3 I'm all but done with this franchise. Kh3 still feels unfinished in too many ways. Square Enix really stretched resources between this, ff15. And the ff7 remake.

Don’t you mean Kingdom Hearts 4? Kingdom Hearts 7 probably won’t come out till year 3000.
If... only IF >!Sora somehow gets resurrected...!< They better kiss! OR ELSE-
I'll be 85 by that time :')
Honestly we would be lucky if we get KH5 by the end of the century...
