    > Jack Sparrow is, together with Leon and Riku, capable of wielding the Keyblade for a short time before reappearing in Sora’s hands again. It’s obvious with Riku, he was the originally intended Keyblade Master, but why Jack Sparrow and Leon are capable of it is unknown.

    TwilightBlader -- I heard that Rikku from FFX was going to be in KH1 but due to the name Riku already in the game they changed it to Yuffie

    Kingdom Hearts: chain of memories was orignally supposed to be Kingdom Hearts: Lost Memories

    Kurt Zisa (the secret boss that you fight in agraba from Kh1) is named after a real life person who won a contest

    Bahamut from FF was going to be a summon but was removed for Mushu

    Marluxia was originally intended to be a female Organization Member.

    Luxord is Nomura's favourite Org. Member because of his "glossy" appeal and demeanour.

    Contract Issues with Disney led to Mickey only being allowed to be used in a single scene in the first Kingdom Hearts Game.

    The only reason Tron ever appeared in Kingdom Hearts was because Nomura was on a trip to Disney in th USA and saw someone working on something for Tron and liked it so much that he decided to put it in.

    Maleficent was to be the original main/final boss of KHI. 'Ansem' was an almost literal last-minute addition

    -The reason Rikku, Yuna and Paine appear as fairies in Kingdom Hearts II is because Nomura always wanted to take one of his previously made characters and turn them into a form that was "not of a human" and so, the YRP Fairies were put into KH2.

    - Sora's victory poses in the olympus colleseum in kh1 are based off of Cloud, Squall and Zell's victory poses. Tidus Wakka and Selphie have the same victory poses as their games

    - The Pride Lands was originally planned to be in KH1, but it was scrapped coz the games program couldn't handle having the controllable character on 4 legs at the time.


    - Maleficent was brought back in KH II due to popular demands

    - Stitch was a summon in KH II because he is the 2nd faveorite Disney character in Japan.

    - Riku was originally supposed to be the main character of Kingdom Hearts.

    - Roxas was originally an agent working for DiZ and fought againist the Organization.

    - Chicken Little was put into KH2 as a summon to help promote the movie for the Japanese.

    - There is a drawing in the secret place of a Mickey head and an 'M' with a star next to it.

    - Originally the final boss for KH2 was going to be this massive Nobody monster called "King"

    -Originally, Wakka was not intended to be in Kingdom Hearts, his role was supposed to be filled by Final Fantasy 8's Irvine

    - Disney Castle was originally gonna be playable in the first KH

    - When the heartless first appear on DI in KH1, trying to hit them with the wooden sword has no effect at all. However, when Sora uses it in Hollow Bastion, it does.

    - Despite Trickmaster appearing to be one of the largest Heartless Sora fought, in reality he was roughly the size of Donald Duck; Sora battled him while they were small.

    - When Sora and company arrive in Port Royle, they say that the world feels kinda different. This is a joke pointing out that everything in it is more real, being based on a live action movie

    - Larxene's voice actor does the Wendy's commercials

    Emblendered -- My share of fun facts:
    1. Sora was planned to look like a gnome/troll of some kind:
    http://kh2.co.uk/assets/kh/artwork/216.jpg

    2. Riku was based on Kadaj, while Axel was based on Reno. Axel´s anagram without x is 'ale'. That is Reno´s favorite drink.

    3. In Chain of Memories Sora actually says: "What the HELL is wrong with you people?!" and Xion says in 358/2 Days: "Who the heck/hell am I?"

    4. The Seasalt Ice-cream was just a little detail in the KH2´s storyline, but someone in the staff got so excited that actually Nomura had to filter the use of that element with a strong hand And still we all know the result..

    5. In KH2 you can go talk to Setzer and he tells that he came to town for the females rather than winning a tournament or something along those lines.

    6. Though can be argued, Sora seems to yell at Kairi in the end of KH1: "I love you!" though he is muted...

    7. Zexion was not planned to have any weapon at all(in the storyline), but for the fans they made him one later.

    8. DiZ gave Riku a perfectly fitting organization cloak. Makes you wonder if DiZ examined Riku´s size while he was sleeping ;D

    9. Xaldin actually replaced Gaston in KH2. One may see many similarities between these two characters.

    10. Christopher Lee(Diz/AtW) actually read the whole script for KH2 while most actors read only their lines/scenes.

    11. Keyblade was invented and Donald & Goofy equiped with Staff and Shield because Disney didnt allow any of them to wield an actual sword.

    12. There is a huge hook in Roxas´ TT Room.

    13. Roxas happens to be Nomura´s favorite character. The plotwriter of CoM and BbS has said that he likes the guy who starts as good guy and turns dark.

    14. Kairi in the Secret Ending of KH1 has a longer hair than she actually got in the end. Many fans have thought this was someone else.

    15. Axel makes a tear in FM+ ;D The guy who we knew from CoM is totally gone lol

    16. Kingdom Hearts in Japan is most popular within females, but overseas the thing is the opposite.

    17. Tetsuya Nomura threw out the idea of KH:Coded at a pub when he was drunk.

    20. Mickey tickles easily by Riku... ;D

    21. Roxas is mostly paired to his best friend, Axel.

    22. Organization cloak started as an edited Sora´s outfit. There is concept art about this.

    23. Many thought that Marluxia was a woman until Re:CoM was published.

    24. Demyx´ weapon is called Sitar. Sitar is an actual instrument.

    25. Hercules in KH1 was voiceacted by Sean Astin(Sam from LOTR)

    26. Xigbar says during the boss-fight: "Arms, reload!" Though he says it so quickly that many have misheard him saying: "R, reload!" R is used for reloading guns in many Firstshooter-games :P

    27. In FM+ Organization Silhouettes are introduced and explained actually by Demyx.

    28. Xemnas´ voiceactor isnt credited by his real name and Xemnas is mentioned pretty low in the cast.

    29. In the japanese version of KH2 after Axel makes his suicide attack he lays on the ground BURNING. In the other versions the flames are oddly removed.

    31. Jiminy Cricket travels in Sora´s hair, but is rarely seen outside ;D

    32. Riku calls Sora "stupid" in Kingdom Hearts 1 while they are at Neverland.

    36. 'Yen Sid' backwards is 'diSneY'

    37. Zexion is never seen to die.

    38. In original Chain of Memories Vexen is shot by Axel, so Vexen never knew who killed him, but in Re:Chain of Memories Axel introduces himself before he kills Vexen.

    39. Xemnas´ Japanese voiceactor is 65-year-old.

    40. xen believes that an Organization member's number is equivalant to their rank in authority. This assumption is wrong and might be just some wishful thinking concerning a fact that Vexen actually has the lowest throne in the Organization´s meeting place.

    41. Saïx is ranked the second in command though he was only the 7th to join the Organization.

    42. Axel has been thought to be Riku´s nobody disregard the fact that the two look nothing alike.

    43. Zexion´s weapon, Lexicon, has two pictures on its pages. First one features Zexion himself, but the second picture has two unrecognizeable midgets.

    44. Creeper nobodies have no known master-nobodies.

    45. Sora can actually tri-wield keyblades when fighting Roxas in FM+.

    46. Merlin can travel through worlds with ease using magic.

    47. First Kingdom Hearts game had only 4 original characters not including the heartless. These were Sora, Riku, Kairi and Ansem.

    48. Ansem´s anagram is 'names'. Could be due to a fact that the name 'Ansem' is used by several characters in the series: Ansem the Wise, Xehanort´s heartless, Riku...

    49. Lexaeus´ and Vexen´s weapons can be equiped to Donald & Goofy in FM+

    50. Larxene is the only original evil female character, asides from Xion who is still at unknown side.

    51. In the secret ending of FM Xemnas arrives to meet Roxas, but in KH2 the case was the opposite.

    52. Sora has only cried for Riku, but not Kairi. Furthermore Sora doesnt show much emotion with Kairi. This encourages the Soriku fans ;D

    53. In Re:CoM Larxene grabs Axel´s chin.

    54. In the japanese version of KH2 Sora actually swears to KILL the Organization, not aknowledging the inviduals might be at his side.

    55. Marluxia and Xemnas both have only the number '1' in their ranks, this might be due to the fact the both are leaders.

    56. Only Organization Member in CoM who didnt betray someone was Lexaeus. Marluxia, Zexion & Larxene betraying Xemnas, Axel & Vexen betraying Marluxia.

    57. Diz has darker skin than Ansem the Wise. At the moment when DiZ removes his mask in KH2, a tan smoke can be seen to leave his face.

    58. There´s a funny irony with Xemnas saying to AtW: "Only a fool would be your apprentice", due to the fact that Xemnas was one of AtW´s apprentices.

    59. Roxas is never physically in a real world during the timeline of KH2.

    60. Terra never seems to care about the 'Dark Soldier' in the secret ending of FM+, but the 'Dark Soldier' attacks Terra two times damaging his armor. Furthermore Aqua never hits anything with her keyblade.

    61. 'Xemnas' anagram is 'manseX'

    62. Vexen is the only Organization member in CoM who fought both Sora and Riku.

    63. Riku says nothing to Kairi during the whole timeline of KH2 except for the line "Take this." when giving Kairi a keyblade. ;D

    64. Xemnas obviously has the power to turn Organization members into a lesser nobodies due to the fact that he forced Axel to kill Roxas by threatening him and due to Axel saying Roxas later from that: "Sure, but Im not going to be turned into a dusk for.."

    65. In the original KH2 Xaldin is never seen talking to any of the other organization members.

    66. Demyx´ laughter is the loudest when the whole remaining Organization laughs at Sora, but this is weird when Demyx is most obviously the most coward of the Organization

    67. Larxene was never seen hooded, but her concept art has the hooded one.

    68. Lexaues seems to be Xigbar´s minion due to the fact that Xigbar actually put his duty to be done by Lexaeus. ;D

    69. Lexaeus is titled 'Silent Hero' for a totally unknown reason

    70. None of the Organization Cloaked characters possess anything what you can call a butt

    71. Vexen is the tallest of the Organization while Jiminy Cricket´s nobody is obviously the shortest LOL forget what I just said :P psssst, he lives in roxas hair :>

    72. Sephiroth´s sword is longer in KH´s than in the FFVII´s.

    73. Demyx is the only Organization member to NOT mention Sora´s name.

    74. Sora has blue eyes, Riku has green-blue eyes, Kairi has purple-blue eyes. Then again Xehanort has brown eyes, Xemnas has brown-orange eyes and Ansem has orange eyes.

    75. Both the smallest and largest weapons in the Organization are Luxord´s cards xD

    76. While living at Hollow Bastion, Maleficent had given Riku his own room to live in. This is stated in Re:CoM R/R..

    77. Vexen needs only fight the person he wants to replicate long enough, though the actual process of making the replica is still unclear.

    78. Only nobody to have not expressed any emotion on his face is Saïx.

    79. Nobodies who have made tears: Namine, Axel.

    81. Sora´s KH1-shorts look painful in the crotch-area... Though I think you´ll realize this just by looking.

    82. In the ending of KH2, Leon receives a message and a pink butterfly flies from it to the sky.

    83. Luxord has a nobody symbol as an ear-piercing on his left ear.

    84. Sora basically cuts Roxas in half with the Keyblade. Ouch...

    85. Riku never cried.

    86. Maybe size DOES matter, since all of the most powerful keyblades are also the largest ones.

    87. Roxas forehair in secret ending is bent left while the final Roxas´ forehair is bent to right. They say that forehair bent to right means GAY lol.. :P

    88. There is an irony with Repliku calling Riku a liar, when Riku says he doesnt fear the dark. Repliku says he fears nothing, but when he dies he fears what happens to his heart.

    89. Axel is a ***** in CoM..

    He got run over by a car :(

    My little sister was walking him out. A few minutes after she walked out of the door with him, she came back. "I let go of the line, Russel is out there somewhere!" So I went with her to look for him, but we didn't found him.

    My sister was crying, naturally. I thought he would turn up again eventually. A few hours ago, our neighbor stood in front of our door. "Is Russel still inside?" He asked. Well, he wasn't, because a few blocks from our house, some old ******* hit him with a car, and just continued driving after a minute or so...

    We'll miss Russel, poor thing... I hope that man rots in hell...

    Blitzoff!

    As the title says, this is a Final Fantasy X fanfic.
    All about blitzball(have I mentioned I am a great blitzball fan?)!
    Here goes, enjoy!


    Prologue:
    The Calm has arrived in Spira, it’s been 3 years since the last sinspawn has been located. When Sin will rise again remains unknown, but people can rest assured for now.

    “Here, catch!”
    “Got it!”

    On a grassy field, just outside of the city Luca, two men where throwing a blitzball at each other.

    ‘’Long pass, Kenny!’’ One of them called, and hurled the ball miles away.

    ‘Kenny’ quickly distanced himself from the passer. The blitzball flew through the air at high speed, making it hard to spot in the warm sunlight. Kenny overtook the blitzball, but then stopped running. He jumped into the air, and stuck out his foot.

    “Overhead kick! Here comes, Lenny!” Kenny yelled. It was like he anticipated the blitzball.

    The blitzball landed perfectly on Kenny’s foot, shooting the blitzball back at Lenny with great power.
    “Wow! Nice one!” Lenny said, as he got ready to catch the shot.

    Lenny jumped in the air, catching the ball with ease. He made a fancy roll once he landed.

    “Heh. show-off.” Kenny smiled. He looked at his watch. “Oh. Gotta go, Len. My wife’s expecting me. We were gonna cook together this evening, better not mess it up again!” Kenny ran off towards Luca.

    Lenny waved at Kenny, as he practiced keep ups. Until the sun went under...

    I know how you feel. You’re standing in front of an army of Heartless, but you
    don’t wanna randomly smash the X button again to get through them. Well, here
    are some fun tactics for you to kill ém in style.

    Get ém one-on-one.
    Here’s what to do. Go to the Customize window in the Pause menu. Set both your
    party members’ battle style on ‘Party Attack’ so that they focus their attacks on
    other targets than Sora’s current target. Move away a little from the crowd, and
    let some Heartless/Nobodies approach you. You can, if you wish(I honestly
    would), change the camera position a little once you face an opponent. It’s
    especially cool when using the Samurai Nobody’s ‘Battle Stance’ Reaction
    Command.

    Protect your companions!
    Go to the customize window in the Pause menu. Set both your Party members’
    battle style to ‘Huddle Attack’ so that they keep close to you when in battle.
    Also, set ‘Reflega’ on as a Quick Command. You should cast ‘Reflega’ for fun. Just
    once. You’ll see that Donald and Goofy are also in the protection sphere with you.
    That means that they’re also save for attacks, just like you! Now, when you’re
    being attacked, cast ‘Reflega’, and Donald and Goofy will remain unharmed for as
    long as the protection sphere remains active. After that, may the barrier be touched by an opponent, an
    explosion will occur, clearing all Heartless/Nobodies around you.(thanks, Deadheart!) This works with
    all party members, except for Beast, who’s to large. Being big and tough isn’t
    always fun, eh?

    Don’t forget to Guard!
    Y’know, ‘fighting’ is also called ‘self-defence’ for a reason. What you wanna do is
    equipping Sora’s ability ‘Counterguard’. It’ll allow you to attack after you
    succesfully Guarded yourself from an attack. You also might want to equip
    yourself with a powerful Keyblade like ‘Desicive Pumpkin’ or ‘Oblivion’. It’ll
    increase the chance of you actually killing your opponent using ‘Counterguard’.

    We’re surrounded! Stay close to each other!
    This is most fun in The World That Never Was, in the Alley to Between. Y’know,
    where a sh*tload of Shadows attack you? Once again, set both Party Members’
    battle style to Huddle Attack. A LOT of Shadows emerge here, and they tend to
    surround you a lot. When you’re in this kind of situation, fight defensively. If
    one attacks, bash them off with single hits, or use that ‘Reflega’ trick I typed 2
    paragraphs above here. It may sound a bit strange, but it looks really cool.

    Ice skating is fun!!
    For this one, transform into Wisdom Form. This is especially fun in large groups.
    As you probably already noticed, Wisdom Form lets Sora ‘skate’ about instead of
    running. When encountering a group of enemies, ‘skate’ around anywhere on the
    battlefield, shooting some opponents while doing it. Don’t be afraid to ‘skate’
    right into the crowd. It seems as if your opponents have a hard time reading
    your next moves in Wisdom Form, making them just stand there not doing much.
    The only ones that should be a problem are Morning Star Heartless. They chase
    you at high speed, and it’s often impossible to run away from them.

    Missed me, missed me!
    Equip the ‘Areal Dodge’ ability to Sora. To get that ability, level up Master Form
    up to From LV 3 or higher. This is most fun while fighting Rapid Thrusters.
    When they attack using their propellors, jump up in the air, they should follow
    you. Just when they’re about to strike, use ‘Areal Dodge’ to double-jump to
    safety before they shave you bald. This requires timing though, and this can’t
    be done in Pride Lands, as Sora changed into a lion.

    That little feline is FAST.
    This can only be used in Pride Lands, but it’s a simple one. Use Sora’s ‘Dash’
    ability to run towards an opponent at high speed. Once you get close to your
    opponent, press X to ‘tackle’ your opponent. This already looks cool, but doing it
    multiple times looks even cooler. Try it out once on your next trip to Pride Lands.

    SMACK! Uppercut!
    This one’s easy, though one of my favourites. Just equip the ‘Upper Slash’ ability
    to Sora. In the middle of a combo, press the square button to land a fine-looking
    uppercut on your opponent, then pressing X again to continue your combo in the
    air. As I said, simple but fun.

    I believe I can fly!
    This only works on flying opponents, best on Rapid Thrusters. Make sure you set
    Magnega’ as a Quick Command. When facing a big group of Heartless, cast
    Magnega’ to make the opponents gather in one place. When they’re in the gravity
    vortex, start hacking away until you’re up high in the air. More fun is equipping
    the ‘Glide’ ability to Sora. You can do that by leveling Final Form up to Form LV 3
    or higher. This is great fun at the top of Pride Rock in Pride Lands.

    Repetition is never stylish.
    Put some variation in your moves. Making the same old combo over and over again
    makes everything look kinda dull. For example, casting spells like ‘Firaga’ or
    Blizzaga’ at the end of your combo always looks cool, especially in Master Form.
    You receive a LOT of abilities by leveling, why not put them to use?

    Use lots of spells!
    I noticed with a lot of players that they only cast ‘Curaga’ if necessary. You can
    use a lot of spells, people! Put them to use, it’s not the end of the world :)

    ...just look around at various places in the worlds? Like in the oasis in Pride Lands, and Valley of the Dead in Olympic Colliseum. Those guys from Square sure are graphical genuises :)
