Kingdom Hearts Was Sora Evil?

Think way back to Sora's awakening. Sora ended up creating a darkside from his shadow. A heartless is considered to be the darkness in a person's heart and the darkside is the most powerful purebred. If Sora was able to create such a huge heartless without even needing to be killed then how evil was he before that?

 

This is kinda a stupid answer because i'm not that good with figuring things out xD.Maybe before he got his ke yblade he had alot of darkness in his heart but when he got it it added light to his heart.xD told you it was stupid but I was just thinking.​

 

I don't think that Sora's heart had anything to do with Darkside. I think that it was a test to see how strong he would be against such a big foe.

 

I agree with Kairi_girl, the Darkside was just a test. Since he turned into a Shadow, he had very little darkness in him, so no, he wasn't evil.

 

It was the voice using his shadow for visual effect. Sort of like the Cheshire cat does.

 

He was never evil.
Remember, as the shadow grew, it said, "The closer you get to light, the greater your shadow becomes."
And, to be evil, he had to have evil intentions. Sora never had evil intentions, did he?
I could barely call him evil.

 

To me it was symbolic. In KH it is said that -everyone- has Darkness in their Hearts except the Princesses of Heart who are supposedly pure of negative emotions. In a way I think that's kind of campy but that's the layout Nomura has stated and the games declare.

This is why when Kairi lost her Heart and it hid in Sora, it did not instead turn into a Heartless. She has no Darkness so it just doesn't work that way. For Namine to be created, DiZ stated in the Ansem Reports that it happened when Sora removed her Heart from his, which at the time he was using the Dark Keyblade to do the deed which had Darkness and also he does have Darkness in himself.

Keybladers are not above having Darkness in the storyline. Riku and Sora both get upset and frustrated at times. Riku actually nearly was pwned by Darkness until he saw through it right at the end and then refused to give in.

Basically the symbolism of that scene is that anyone, including a young 14 year old well natured, naive boy with a good heart normally can choose some paths that may lead him to Darkness. He didn't make the Heartless appear. The 'voice' did to show him his enemies and also that he had to not fear the Darkness but face it and understand everyone, including him has it. That is basically how I took the scene any way. I'm very certain though that Sora wasn't forming the Heartless as it came through a vortex caused when Riku opened the door of Destiny Islands to link it with other worlds. Xehanort's Heartless took advantage of that and attacked the Islands with the Heartless then. It was his goal, after all, to find the Keyblade Master and this is why he sent Kairi out years ago in the first place.

 

Just so you know I never thought of Sora as evil, I was just recently replaying KH1 and that caught my attention


The way I more so perceived it was as a possible future. To show that if Sora wasn't careful he could fall into that trap.

 

That is kind of what the message was conveying was that Darkness should not be feared but anyone could fall to Darkness, including him if the circumstances are right and the person goes the wrong path.

 

Not really. It came from Sora's shadow, but it was a test by the voice thing. It was saying to becareful of the darkness, but not to fear it. It was symbolism brought into a real form. It was basicly showing sora what would happen if he gave into the darkness.

As for darkside though, it is a common heartless really amongst the heartless bosses (judging by a lot of parts of the game and such). I mean, think about it. It is also symbolism really to show just how good Sora is. I mean, after all, perhaps he has such much light in his heart, that it created such a large amount of darkness, which resulted into the darkside heartless which he fought.

 

That was a dream actually,at least i think.
Even if it wasn't,thre is Darkness in every heart(Except for the princess of heart) and a heartless appear when there's darkness so the Darkside didn't have anything special.

 

No, Sora got the keyblade instead of Riku because he hadn't turned to the dark. I think it may have been symbolic of how even those who are very close to the light can still become monstourous, dark creatures.
​

 

I still think my idea better. I mean, the voice said it itself. The greater the light is, the greater shadow it casts.....

 

nah, the heartless was pretending to be his shadow. because sora has little darkness in him. when he turned into a heartless he turned into a shadow, the lowest class of darkness

 

If you have actually played the game, which I'm sure you have, you will know that all people whether good or bad, are made of both light an darkness. Sora got the Keyblade because he had a very strong heart, not because of what made up his heart.

 

True,that's why MX and MXA wield Keys.

 

remember, in kh1 dude that when he was turned into a true blue heartless it was a shadow. he basicly failed in the evil department on that point.

 

Wow, talk about bumping old threads


At any rate we have seen Dark Riku wield a keyblade and Triton's stories of old keyblade wielders so we know that the keyblade looks at strength of heart, not light or darkness. Though MX isn't the greatest point since those keyblades are debated about being fake (no chains and you see one break).

In short this means that him having a keyblade doesn't say much about him.

What actually got me thinking about this (though I don't think I said this before) was my friend played the game and asked me what Darkside was the dark side of. It's the dark side of Sora but it also seems that he wasn't formed from Sora's darkness.

I really just gave up on the idea since there isn't a simple way to make it work.

 

I also agree,it was a test.Just to test his strength.Or to see if he could last.

 

Riku never wielded the Keyblade when he was dark. He had darkness within him but the Keyblade left him when he chose darkness over light. Also, the Dark Keyblade doesn't really count as it was a manifestation temporary faux Keyblade used for a purpose and combined of the hearts of the Princesses but also Darkness.

As for Sora..it was known that anyone who is not a PoH basically has Darkness in him/her. However, Sora's Darkness was pretty pathetic if you think on it, considering he changed into a Shadow, which is the bottom of the totem poll for Heartless. It is the basic 'proof' we need to say he was not evil really.

To make another point, he has the 'choice' to become better or worse. The forms he has in KH2 support this as they are potentials he will rise to as he becomes more powerful. Valor - for strength of spirit and body, Wisdom for knowledge and magic. Master, mastering both fields strongly. And then there's Anti-Form. Which comes around when he abuses forms too much, relying on power too much which is a representation that power could corrupt him if he's not careful. His final form is that he's complete and goes on to being a whole person that won't be corrupted since even Anti-Form won't work if it is called forth. So, Sora has the potential as anyone would to become 'evil' since he has Darkness in his heart, but the chances are low so long as he does what he is supposed to and doesn't avoid it or become power obsessed.
