Cinderella ₍₂₀₁₅₎ concept Art By Adam Brockbank 

“You know, I learned something interesting the other day.”

“They say that if you put your hand in a fist,”

“It’s the size of your heart.”

“And would you look at that…”

“Your heart fits in mine.”

I’ve been thinking a lot about this

It’s a very high possibility that Sora just won’t get norted, and I think I know why.

It’s because his fate will be much, much worse.

I mean, think about it. All the organization members have constantly either deemed him as 1) useless, despite having a weapon they could not wield, or 2) as something that they can use as a means to end, and nothing more.

I think the best example of this is what Xigbar told Sora back in KH2:

Xigbar was most likely referencing the Wayfinder trio (Aqua, Terra, and Ventus) at this point. And honestly, as much as I hate to say this….he wasn’t wrong.

Despite their falling out, Aqua, Terra and Ventus were much stronger when compared to Sora. They could hold their own even when they were separated from each other. Even Ventus, with a partially shattered heart, had more abilities generated by his own power in the end than Sora ever did.

All of Sora’s special abilities, if you pay attention, are all either 1) Inherited from Ventus and Roxas (possibly Xion as well) or 2) Are abilities he gains from his friends via summonings, the new Disney keyblades and their abilities in KH3, or limits involving Donald, Goofy, and other Disney chracters corresponding to the world he’s in.

The difference between Sora and every other hero we’ve played as is that…he’s never really fought alone, successfully. In KH1, he eventually wasn’t alone and fought with Donald and Goofy to defeat Ansem. In KH2, he had Riku’s help in defeating Xemnas. Meanwhile In Chain Of Memories, he was almost murdered by Replica Riku and Larxene when he went off on his own. In Dream Drop Distance, despite “beating” Xemnas in the end, he still lost because he was alone. He was still kidnapped by the organization, and he would’ve likely gotten possessed if it hadn’t been for Riku, Lea, and Mickey saving him. And because of that, he failed.

Honestly, I think the only reason Xehanort wanted to put his heart inside of Sora was BECAUSE by extension, he would finally have Ventus and Roxas in his grasp again. I just find it too inconsistent otherwise for Xehanort to want to possess Sora even though he calls him a “dull, ordinary boy”.

Ventus is the only reason why Sora can wield the keyblade. Roxas on his own was extremely powerful, showing abilities that even Sora didn’t have. They were possibly remnants of Ventus’s power, not Sora’s. Even though he is Sora’s nobody, the power didn’t originate from there.

That’s why I find it so heartbreaking in one of the new trailers when Sora says “I can’t do this alone!”. Because he literally CAN’T do it alone.

Without his friends, and without Ventus or Roxas….Sora really would just be a regular kid, powerless to help anyone. And I think he knows that.

I’m honestly afraid to see what Xehanort will do to Sora to get Ventus and Roxas back. I have a feeling it won’t end well.
