The Secret of the Old Mansion

Want to know what’s up with the old Mansion in Twilight Town? Well I figured it out! So sit back as I pull together a shit ton of red dots that hopefully come together to mean something.

First is the facts we know from kh2 and Days. We know Roxas formed as a Nobody in front of the Mansion. The wiki also says “all new human form nobodies form in Twilight Town- in front of the manor gates.” I know it’s a thing from Days but I don’t have time to find the exact place. We know the mansion is old… and abandoned. Not big shockers I know. We know there’s a legend of a ghost girl and in the data Twilight town that girl was Namine. We know Diz and Riku hid Sora there for a year while Namine tried to put together his memories. We know Diz used the computer in the mansion to put Roxas in a data Twilight Town. We know there are more pods than would be needed to heal Sora, Donald, and Goofy. And finally the biggest piece. We know from a description in KH2 that the pods “Have been used before”.

Now we get to start putting all these facts together! First thing is the “all human nobodies form in twilight town” is a lie. We know 1-8 formed in Radiant Garden now turned in Hallow Bastion. We see Roxas form in front of the Mansion so that’s at least true. But who does that leave to be “all human nobodies”? why Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, and Larxene of course! All four of them showing up at the same place from the past makes sense. It explains why Xigbar and also Xemnas know for a fact Luxord was from Daybreak even if Xigbar doesn’t remember him.

Now I theorized these four woke up in Twilight town months ago. Back then I assumed they were kept in the “used” pods from the fight with Brain countless years ago until now. But there’s something else in that basement. Something Diz uses to make the first Datascape we ever see in the series. There’s an old ass computer built into the walls of the basement, with enough memory storage to hold an entire Twilight town and virtual versions of the citizens. Diz was in hiding with Riku for a year they wouldn’t have had enough time to build the computer and the pods while also being in hiding. There just wasn’t enough time. Now I don’t doubt Diz made the Data Twilight. But he managed to do that with a preexisting computer that is also hooked up to the pods the four nobodies just happened to come out of.

Now everyone knows the Daybreak town in khux is a data world. That it was used to hold all the Dandelions that needed to survive the first keyblade war. Basically a digital bomb shelter while the keyblade graveyard was literally nuked by kingdom hearts. We know the original Daybreak town is underwater thanks to kh3. So where’s the physical computer that’s storing all of Data Daybreak? 

The computer in the mysterious mansion is the mainframe for data Daybreak town. And Diz used the digital world making software to make the Digital Twilight town. The pods are there to reform the Dandelions out of Data. When Brain and Lauriam fought Lauriam’s group got sent out of the simulation early. A group that included Ventus. Ventus who was “found” by Xehanort as a keyblade wielding kid with amnesia.

Fast forward a few years and Xemnas is trying to make kingdom hearts with his organization. But he needs a keyblade wielder to do that. So where does he go? Back to where Xehanort got Ventus. Unfortunately he gets a keybladeless amnesiac lazy bastard who hates fighting. But hey there’s still three other people in those pods. Surely one of them will wake up with their keyblade. No, no they did not. So now Xemnas is just stuck with four more teenagers that grow up into rebellious young adults. And when he finally finally gets a keyblade wielder it’s an exact copy of Ventus. It’s like when there’s a two rare metal banner in khux and you get the first rare metal on your first draw. You then keep trying for the second rare metal and you spend all your gems. Only for on the last draw to give you a second copy of the rare metal you already have and not the second one you’ve been spending all your gems to try and get.

So yeah the Twilight town mansion is so old Master Ava was able to set up the Daybreak simulation in it’s computer. The pods were made for a mass exodus once the worlds were safe from the keyblade war. The rest of the Dandelions and possibly Brain are still in there. And I have a feeling someone knows the password to release all the other Dandelions. Meaning the next “war” might be a little bigger than 20 people.

There are already characters in town who won't stop to talk to you (like castle town in TP). So of all the dialogue to include for the characters who WILL stop and talk…why specifically say she knows nothing…hmmmmmmmmm?

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.
