Shedding Starlight – Détails, épisodes et analyse

A reflection as fragile as the mirrored glass itself; two characters who propel the story with the way their relationship builds. A metaphor for self-love. Believing in yourself, when you can see her right in front of you. We're joined by special guest Aeba (AKA "Absolutely Everything About") on today's episode to discuss two of the most important characters in the series: Kairi and Naminé.

“Ones born of the heart and darkness, devoid of hearts, ravage all worlds and bring desolation.
Seize all hearts and consummate the great heart. All hearts to be one, one heart to encompass all.
Realize the destiny: the realm of Kingdom Hearts. The great darkness sealed within the great heart.
Progeny of darkness, come back to the eternal darkness. For the heart of light shall unseal the path.
Seven hearts, one Keyhole, one key to the door. The door of darkness, tied by two keys.
The door to darkness to seal the light. None shall pass but shadows, returning to the darkness.
Ones born of the heart and darkness, hunger for every heart until the dark door opens."

One of the very last reports we gather in Kingdom Hearts is arguably one of the most important foundationally in the entire series: Ansem's 12th Report. It establishes the Realm of Light, the Realm of Darkness, and affirms Ansem's overall goal of finding "true nirvana." Well, where is it, and how do we find it?
