(I was totally following this game from behind the scenes and I'm just gonna say, Gabi is never gonna trust Maru again)
The reason I personally have problems with Kairi wielding the keyblade being determined by her being a Princess of Heart is that... does this mean you could hand out a keyblade to all princesses of heart? This seems odd to me. If a princess of heart is able to USE the keyblade because of their strength of heart that makes sense to me, but being chosen by the keyblade cause Kairi accidentally touched Aqua's keyblade is a little.... aha... poor in terms of writing? I mean, I get it, I just don't like it. Now, the Xehanort situation. The keyblade as far as I am aware is not inherently good or evil, it it a tool simply given to those based on their strength of heart (which I personally look at as strength of resolve/determination) so it isn't THAT weird to me, honestly. Not nearly as much as the Kairi situation.
Kaida listened to Aux and Hikaru's back and forth, and realized just how much Aux didn't remember. The further on this went, the further on this whole situation pissed her off. Finally, Kaida looked up at Aux and said, "Over a year. You have lost your memories for over a year. You didn't just close your eyes and sleep your way through a year. You haven't even noticed the fact Hikaru has a keyblade now, have you?" Kaida paused a moment to take a breath and said, "Hikaru's always been kinder, you know I'm not.... So let me put it this way. You've done some horrible stuff over the past year you don't even remember. While not everyone in this room feels this way, most of the people in this room want to see your head rolling across the floor." Kaida's fists tightened before she added, "That group includes me." Kaida grinned sarcastically and said, "Welcome to the party Aux, I'm looking forward to wherever this train wreck leads." and Kaida went to go walk in the portal but stopped and turned to look over at Steel and said under her breath, "Why did I only just realize he's a wolf..." and she entered the portal.
Kaida wasn't exactly fond of Hikaru's answer, but it was better than nothing. She was confused about the recorder but she pulled it out of her pocket and looked it over before handing it over to Hikaru and saying, "Don't overwrite anything, I don't want Karina to lose anything cause of it. If you can figure out how to word it without recording, just let me know... alright?" Kaida held the recorder even further out and said, "Just... above all else, take care of yourself. Okay?" Once he held it she walked over and messed with Hikaru's hair a bit and then sighed, "Let's try and get this done, shall we?" she walked towards the world portals and pointed to one of them, Pridelands or something, and said, "How about this one?"
Take watched the cabin boy begin printing towards the captain's cabin. He knew at this point knew that the kid knew they were intruders and he took a breath and cursed under his breath before he ran as well, in the other direction and said, "Hey hey hey hey! Wait, hear me out a second." when he reached the other side of the door he held his hands out towards the boy and said, "Look, I know you'll find this hard to believe, but we ended up knocked onboard and we have no idea where we are, and we just wanted to talk to the captain to clear things up. We mean no harm. I just, well, didn't want to freak you out but this approach seemed to freak you out more."
SCREEEEEEEEE
Today I am going to initiate a rant about the keyblade inheritance ceremony, and why everything about it is wrong. Or rather, a better way to explain the ceremony and pretend that official explanations as to why people obtained the keyblades are wrong. Today, we are going to mostly talk about Kairi: This little picture here is the official explanation for why Kairi is able to wield the keyblade. But I have a few problems with this being the exact reason why Kairi can in fact wield it. For example, do any of you remember this? This was a little scene where Sora kind of handed off the keyblade to Jack Sparrow. Possibly as a joke, but the fact of the matter is that if anyone who touches the keyblade initiates the ceremony, are we going to end up with Jack Sparrow jumping in from the sky keyblade in hand to save the day? Or perhaps people'll say "well, Kairi had the makings, Jack didn't." but the fact of the matter is... anyone who has the makings through the simple act of the taking can get the keyblade? I think this is a little bit of a problem . Now, if we were talking about this particular moment being where Kairi got the keyblade: THAT would make more sense to me. But even still... I never got the impression Kairi could actively wield the keyblade. She could just temporarily use it. I was never under the impression she could do anything other than hit people with it. Like a magically imbued stick or something. But if we're going to make it so the passing of the keyblade is a thing... shouldn't it be something more formal? I was under the impression Riku accidentally performed the inheritance ceremony. And maybe someone out there is yelling, "But for the inheritance ceremony to work, they have be a keyblade master!" Terra wasn't a keyblade master. And still isn't a keyblade master (no matter what Arch says, he's not a keyblade master) So therefore... this logic doesn't work. So, why would just someone touching the keyblade passing on inheritance be a thing? Does this mean every single heartless that Sora hit, that turned out to be worthy, is going to come back with a keyblade in hand led by Jack Sparrow to save the day in Kingdom Hearts III? This just doesn't make sense to me. And I just don't like the idea that touching a keyblade ever so slightly means that scared little girls can end up keyblade wielders. Ya know...
