I missed you, girl.

Not For One More Second Scene: Japanese and English Comparison

This is the third in a series of translation posts I’ve done about Sora and Kairi’s scenes in KH3. The first post about the paopu fruit sharing scene can be found here, and the second post about the light in the darkness scene can be found here.

Here’s a general key for the kind of analysis I like to do:

JP: Official Japanese Dialogue

EN: Official English Dialogue

TR: My Translation (usually more literal and thus more stilted than the official English version. I’m not using natural-sounding English in order to stick as close to the Japanese versions of the lines as possible for the purpose of analysis)

Notes: things I found interesting, grammatical points, extra thoughts, etc.

One last note: media doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Every work of art must be viewed through the cultural lens of the people who made it. Kingdom Hearts, for all its ties to Disney, is still very much a Japanese game, so it should be analyzed in light of that.

With that in mind, let’s continue.

who let him do this?

LU Theory

Look at Warriors expression here, that's more then just concern. He's thinking. The moment Sky mentions that "there was something about the weapon" he looks down at Twilight's wound. The shadow has been observing and then targeting the heavy hitters of the group (especially warriors himself) while passing over some of the others.

It's clearly targeting those it deems the most powerful as it has only drawn its cursed sword against certain members of the chain. However it kept failing when fighting Warriors. Time was too strong. And with the Master Sword, Sky can dispel it's cursed attacks.

HOWEVER it finally managed to land a hit on Twilight. Twi doesn't seem to have been the shadows first choice as it's skipped over him in the past [X] but it was either reveal its secret powerplay by shapeshifting or get mauled by a wolf so...

Anyway, back to the first point with Warriors observing Twilights wound. I bet you he's checking for black blood. He's seen that this shadow has been infecting monsters and can take their form. So what if his friend is now infected?

What if he becomes another vessel under Dinks command.

DARK TWILIGHT

(AKA: Wild and Malon are gonna be pissed)

I love the new Link´s design uwu 

she’s glad he turned out to be such a good kid after all. 

a celebratory “new game is finally happening” comic: AU where Ansem the Wise’s machine at the end of KH2 somehow released my girl aqua from the Realm of Darkness and she becomes a teacher.

She’s still fighting her darkness but feels more at ease being able to at least help these young wielders. They remind her a lot of friends she knows. Mostly I just crave…a positive interaction between the two…!! I miss them!!
