I like how while Sora is an idiot intellectually, he's very personable, empathetic, and good with emotions. On the other hand, Riku's pretty smart, but he's a socially-awkward nightmare.
Riku never used to be, but he definitely changed after KH 1, I think the main reason is because Riku would have had problems living with himself after what he did in that game. Even though he's fine now his hate for his past actions and his loneliness have become part of his character, so I guess it's natural that he's so awkward even though he used to be the coolest kid around back on Destiny Islands. I think Riku may have opened up a lot more due to Kairi's presence which might explain why he appears relatively shy in Birth By Sleep and the flashbacks in KH 1. So in other words, Riku was shown to us right as his character had begun to change, what we see from him now is not necessarily progression but a regression of his character, for some of us that's how we make progress, by going back to the way we were before. As for Sora he's fairly stagnant until KH 2, after which he changes to be more stoic like Riku even though it is not in his nature, unlike Riku, Sora feels forced to act happy all the time and it has completely broken him. And it all started when Donald and Goofy gave him an Ultimatum "stop caring about your friends or never see them again." That's basically what they told Sora when they said "this boat runs on happy faces. " Out of the trio only Kairi and Riku have actually undergone positive changes, because of Donald and Goofy's influence Sora has become quite heartless on the surface. Despite everything he does and says there's an undertone of passive aggressiveness to it all because Sora doesn't really want to be the Chosen Keyblade wielder, nor does he want to save the Worlds, it's a duty he never asked for and you can hear his fatigue in his voice whenever he shows more emotion than his neutral "happiness." Out of the three Sora was also the person who cared the least about the raft and travelling to other Worlds, he helped out because they were his friends but I don't think he ever actually wanted to leave Destiny Islands, which is why Sora responds with apathetic indifference when he finds out there's other Worlds out there, when he's made aware of it he basically just doesn't even seem to care. Sora hasn't changed underneath it all but like Goku I think he's a fairly misunderstood character, because of these details Sora is easily an S tier in terms of character writing. All of this is shown in full force when Sora is shown to no longer believe in himself in KH 3, Sora breaks down crying because he doesn't know who he is anymore, he's always been surrounded by Donald and Goofy, he never had a chance to be himself, and when his friends were gone he didn't know what to do anymore. You know what KH 1 Sora would have said? "The heart may be weak, and sometimes it may even give in, but I've learned that deep down there's a light that never goes out!" Sorry for going on so long.
@@DreamerFromTheDepths Damn!!!! You really nailed Sora. One thing I loved about KH3 was there were moments of Sora being a little more sassy or snarky ex:"Good thing the snow is so soft, I could do this allll dayyyy :/ ". Two points I just want add to this but can't be bothered to go into is: The weight of responsibility and expectations on those poor kids shoulders and toxic positivity.
@@Kamakiri86 There's a few small details I want to add, but these small details have the depth of the Marianna trench, it's too much to read, I think one long paragraph is enough for one comment.
Sometimes you forget that the KH main charcters are at the age where they don't really have experience with relationships yet. This whole exchange between Namine and Riku feel very much like something that could happen between people like that
@@stevenkurtz2730 Ah, I think it's supposed to be after KH3 (Kinda has to be. Riku is wearing his KH3 outfit, and Namine wasn't restored until after KH3) I think they are on an adventure to find clues about bringing back Sora.
My favorite KH lore moment is when Nomura had his team re-animate the scene between Namine and Riku at the end to remove his smile. He just went- they said WHAT about Riku and Namine
They are still smiling to each other anyway 🤡 They didn't bother delete the other Final World line hinting a close relationship, that's my point, Nomura just didn't deny it, he just confirmed Riku is a special name to Naminé. The ending just got random nonsense changes, like removing Xion & Naminé scene at the beach, why? I dont know!
Lmao! Having Naminé react more human was priceless when caught. And was wondering on mood change Mickey at the end? Nailed that expression too!! 😂 Real nice on both Ryoma! Thanks for having me
Mouse Dad's about to give them a very stern talking to. hahahah I'm always happy to make Mickey Mouse noises. hahaha Their reactions in this animatic are great and I already told you, but you did a really good job selling those more human moments. haha Always happy to have you in these Snow.
@@WrBlPro Ahaha that’s the face, definitely heard with the ears.😏 Your Mickey Mouse noises are always believed and from your calm/stutter Riku amazing range👍 loved the animatic the artist drew too! Thanks again with her~
Oh my godddddddd this was the most adorable thing EVER! Riku and Namine being precious dorks and when Mickey came in with the "what's going on hereee?" I lost it 😂
Riku boutta catch dem Ultra Dad-stinct Mickey hands but wait, why is Riku getting his clothes washed on his body, is he like a Ken doll or something lmao, so many questions this was cute tho guys, and your Mickey is aces as always Ryoma! your Riku was pretty dang cool surprise too! and Snow's namine is all class~ great job you two :)
Aand he was a lil' awkward towards Naminé after he said "I don't mind you washing clothes on me". 😅 Imagine if Riku dated Naminé in February I'd be like "Welp the ship has sailed now matey!"
Okay I got a theory on Mickey's sudden mood change at the end. He just realized that these h*rny teens not onlt are committing the "lewd" act of hand-holding in public, but they are being irresponsible by doing so without gloves XD
Me: I hate namine x riku it doesn’t sit right with me blah blah blah Also me: hhsjdhsjdhsj *immediately saves* This was so cute and you guys did a fantastic job lmao
Okay, I was a Sorai shipper before (I think Sora is pan), but this is also looking interesting! (I laughed so hard when Mickey walked in, I woke the entire house up at 2:00am 😤

Plot Twist
Mickey's face at the final frame is because he realized that Riku and Namine were handholding like degenerates
Ya that would make it rated r
Handholding? Before MARRIAGE?!! DONT MAKE GO FRIDAY THE 13TH ON YOU TWO!!!
How dare they
@@bobpizza1460 I love how you didn't use a noun or pronoun between "Don't make" and "go", which means it could refer to yourself, Jason, or Mickey.
Foreshame
Namine: *Says something slightly spicy*
Mickey: *DISNEY POLICE OPEN UP*
But do the Disney police have a warrant? And they better have a good one at that…
Mickey at the end is literally saying with his face: Riku, we need to have a talk
0:16
I can be the only one who finds that little ¨yay¨ to be so adorable.
*Mickey really popped in like "Keep this shit PG-13, y'all, or corporate Disney will be on my ass-"*
What do you mean, he IS Disney
He is Disney's representation, Disney's incarnation, it is the concept of Disney given flesh.
This is how Sora is around Kairi.
Love how Riku is acting.
I could imagine a Phineas and Isabelle kinda situation
We need more of this damn it. Like a KINGDOM Hearts OVA or something
Man...we would LOVE that.
Damn straight
we are getting...something from disney + though who knows how far back that got pushed with the virus
Imagine Kingdom Hearts Fanservice
This is what the Disney+ series NEEDS to be!
I'm crying I'm so happy you guys dubbed this animatic 😭
"You two remind me of minnie and I" Then IMMEDIATE murder mouse mode, guess hes gonna smite the deviant handholders
Either that or he got wartime flashbacks of his time with Minnie
My favorite KH lore moment is when Nomura had his team re-animate the scene between Namine and Riku at the end to remove his smile. He just went- they said WHAT about Riku and Namine

“I don’t mind you washing clothes on me.” XD Riku, are you aware of what you have said!?
I don't get it but it funny
It did take him a few seconds to get it.
Moral of the story:
Riku is a sexy guy
Plot twist: Mickey realized he made a pun with Re:Mind.
Finally, a ship for a Riku that I can be happy with.
Agreed.
yep
The moment you realize she is sora and kairi fused
@@xiswarmin best of both worlds amiright?
@@samuelwolch1302 That would imply he wants to be with sora which he doesn’t
Mickey… if they remind you of you and Minnie than I’m worried for your mental health…
Those 2 have dirty thoughts about each other
Oh my godddddddd this was the most adorable thing EVER! Riku and Namine being precious dorks and when Mickey came in with the "what's going on hereee?" I lost it 😂
I so wish I was Namine at this point. I absolutely adore Riku. Love him so much ❤
Damn,namine & Riku got an color layer
Mickeys face at end always gets me
That was fricking adorable 😆 The reactions were priceless and the music suddenly cutting out was a nice touch!
and that's when Mickey beats them over the head with his keyblade for doing lovey dovey stuff on screen.
This was so hilarious and adorable that I can't stop smiling! You both did really great in your performances to capture this funny moment. 😄
1:31 when my brother flush my hot wheels
Help these awkward children.
If only they'd give the green light to a kingdom hearts anime this scene would definitely be one of them
Lol what even was that last bit "Mmmmmm!!!"
Naminé saying the thing near riku:
Me:😖
Seeing riku is awake:😫
Mickey saying it reminds him of minnie and him: 😲😲😲😲
👁👄👁

Actually nanime is gonna get a scolding from the king mouse because Mikey treats riku like a son
Okay that’s adorable 😅
King Mickey: Keep it PG everyone or I'm going to have to censor you, ah-ha!
Wtf that ending XD THAT WAS FUNNY
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I ship these two so much I love this--
I've wanted Riku and Namine to be together since Chain of Memories and I'm so happy KH3 brought a lot more people to team Namiku
Yeah, that's true
Kingdom Hearts 3 made fall
Micky overprotective dad mode on his face lol
Towards the end in Mickys Mind:
Reminding Him and Minnie=A Couple=DEGENERATES
Riku X Naminé anyone? And since Kingdom Hearts 3 she is no longer living in Kairi's heart anymore. She's her own somebody now.
I love this so much! You two really brought this scene to life♪
Kairi what is the other side of your heart telling you.
Whoa I never seen Namine with Her Cute and Shy Reaction before
This gets funnier the more you watch it 🤣
THATS NOT WHAT YOU SAY RIKU
0:43
Me: OH MY G-
THOSE ADORABLE MORONS I LOVE THEM
I didn’t expect to laugh as loudly as I did. I literally teared up. 😂 Mickey at the end was icing on the cake.
Lovely! Really enjoyed this, yes! And those awkward moments LOL
I don't know why, but when I think of RikuNami I always imagine Riku saying "Fuck Kairi, I HAVE THE SISTER!"
Who ever is playing as Namine has the most sexiest voice ever...just wow 😳😁
Poor Namine
Mickey: That kind of behavior and language is for our Disney Channel orginal movies only!
I find this shipping quite adorable, nice dub by the way ;D
Mickey: Why, you two remind me of minnie and I.
*Quickly realizes namine won't marry riku and his friends.
1:30
But... wouldn't Mickey and Minnie need t be married to be a King and Queen?
Riku and Namine sitting in a tree❤️
Riku is such a great friend

OMG! I’m over here blushing over what you guys did!! It’s so cute and funny 😂😂❤️❤️
This is a bount of serotonin i needed
Mickey came to check if everything was family friendly
Love how the fandub Riku has more emotion than the actual Disney certified Riku.
Riku’s voice acting was better here than most of KH3
True fecking love right’ere
Riku that’s my boi. 😆👍

I can’t help but ship these two together, I try to just let it go but mind and gut just say other wise.
Awwww
Perfection
The ending got me XD
Aww cute next ship Riku and Namine

Well that was cute
Nice animation
someone else feels like the cannon couple is riku and kairi instead of sora, like sora is busy in those abs
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE
