Sora, that Light is You.

The four next pages of my Kingdom Hearts comic are finally here! And yes, I’m the most inconsistent art in History, that’s a fact. I changed the style yet again. Oopsie daisy. Buuut I had so much fun with these, so I’m not complaining. I mean, Riku being Sora’s guiding light?? SoRiku is my middle name, folks.

kh3 sora: yeah.... (thinking about this)

I made a Soriku version of the meme:

陸空版深夜の60分一本勝負第１６回

Theme: Kiss x2

Its somewhat fascinating that at the end of the Dark Seeker Saga, Sora, in the Final World, is just Sora. No one else.

He gave a part of his Heart to heal Ventus. His appearance was what shaped Vanitas. His body gave way to Roxas. His memories shaped Xion.

For the first time within Kingdom Hearts, Sora is just himself. No Ventus Roxas Xion to shape him and his feelings and his memories.

And some part of me wonders if this is why Yozora questions if Sora is really Sora. Because in truth, we haven't really been playing as just Sora. In KH1 its a combination of Sora and Ventus. KH2 onwards its Sora, Roxas, Xion, and Ventus. KH3 is where all of them are separate for the first time. And thus reality questions if the person in front of us is Sora.

Part 1

The secret ending is jam packed with tons of symbolism. Another detail to look out for is the stoplights- green (or in Japan, called blue lights) for Riku, red for Sora (Remember, the name of the clip is “Yozora”, who has a blue eye and a red eye…).  In the first shot you see a green light on Riku’s side:

When Riku wakes up, he gasps and turns around quickly like he senses something.  The camera only shows a red stoplight, but this is Sora’s color.  Riku might be sensing Sora.

Sora has the same reaction, but you can only see the reflection of the green/blue light on the car (having trouble seeing/recognizing Riku’s light maybe, if the theme continues from KH3 with Sora not realizing the light is Riku yet)

It’s very deliberate: All of the stoplights in the background on Sora’s side are green, and all the stoplights on Riku’s side are red.
