I am Mushu!

Mushu is the fun loving dragon from Disney's 36th theatrical animated feature Mulan.
~In Kingdom Hearts I Mushu appears as a summon, where he breathes fireballs to attack foes. He joins Sora after the 1st battle against Malificent's Dragon Form.
~In Kingdom Hearts (re:) Chain of Memories he appears a Summon Card, obtained through the Key of Rewards in Hallow Bastion.

~In Kingdom Hearts II Sora, Donald, and Goofy meet Mushu again when they visit Land Of Dragons, where Mushu immediately recognises Sora, Donald, and Goofy from his time as a Summon.
~Also KHII Mushu is also part of the Limit Command Red Rocket with Mulan. It has Mushu breath fireballs all over with the finishing move of "Red Meteor" which has Mushu shoot a barrage of fireballs into the sky.

~Mushu is an over all fun character in both his movie and Kingdom Hearts. Thanks for Reading!

Demyx's Sitar

As all of us know Demyx is very anti-fighting. So instead of actually fighting he uses his sitar which is called Arpeggio to control water to fight for him. Arpeggio is shaped like the Nobody symbol and is varied in its hues of blue, as seen in the picture.
    This weapon by itself is actually pretty weak, but can deal a bit of damage by swinging it and hitting an enemy. Though you yourself cannot do this, the best attribute is making water dance and attack. To get the Arpeggio version as a weapon in 358/2 Days have either the Zero Gear or absolutely no gear attached in your panels.

100 Acre Wood

The 100 Acre Wood is the mini game world of Kingdom Hearts.
~The book itself is owned by Merlin.

~Sora goes inside the book and finds Pooh Bear all alone think think thinking about where is friends have gone.
~Throughout both KHI and KHII you find the missing pages to the book to continue the many adventures of Winnie the Pooh. The pages are in the most random places, from The Cave of Wonders to the Oasis in the Pride Lands. I prefer to gather all the pages and then play through the world all at once but others prefer to play as they find the pages.
~The game play itself is more mini games. No Heartless, only fun loving talking animals. The area's of the world are direct from the movie/original book, the Spooky Cave, Piglets house, Rabbits house, ect. Sora takes the place of Christopher Robin.

~You meet Owl fairly often who explains the mechanics of the world.

~ You find Pooh's friends through a series of mini games, which give you good abilities or equipment to use in the other parts of the game. (I.E Curaga)
~In (re:)Chain of Memories you return to the Hundred Acre Wood, which in my opinion is best to save for the 10th floor. The whole floor is one big mini game with some side games where you have pooh follow you to his friends.
~In KHII it is fairly the same.
When you return to Hallow Bastion and visit Merlin's house, low and behold there the book is! Sora enthusiastically enters to reunite with his friends. But later the Heartless get to the book and the pages get lost once again. This incident causes pooh to lose his memory causing him to refer to Sora as "Somebody-I-Don't-Know". Once all of the pages are returned once again, Pooh is back to normal and Sora reassures Pooh and his friends they will always be in each others heart.
~The Future?
Possibly in KHIII we'll see the events of the upcoming Winnie the Pooh movie-in theaters July 15, 2011 (2011-07-15), take place.
Also the Original Winnie the Pooh e-book by A.A. Milne is available for free on iBooks.

Kingdom Hearts 3 Speculations

I don't have a lot of time to put a ton of effort into this article tonight, so accept my apologies.

Here's what I think is going to happen when Kingdom Hearts 3 finally is released.

     First, Sora and Riku are going to be Keyblade Masters and are going to be looking for Aqua, seeing as she is the only one of the trio who still has control of herself.
     Once they've united with Aqua, she will lead Sora and Riku to Castle Oblivion to wake Ventus up from his sleep. There will be some sort touching scene where Sora discovers that he has been housing Ventus's heart for quite some time.
     Now that Aqua have been found, they're going to have to track down Xehanort, the one in Terra's body, and release Xehanort's control over Terra, probably from some epic battle. When that happens Terra will be overjoyed and there will be some major partying going on and everyone will be happy. They will fill Terra in on the plan and then go find the real Xehanort.
     From there the five Keyblade Masters will have an incredibly long, multi-parted battle against Xehanort, the only man to have been both a Heartless and a Nobody, other than Sora, of course. Then everyone will go home and be happy forever because the Xehanort saga will be over and there is no more reason to be questing.

I know that's a very condensed version, but that's my take on this. What do you think? Do I sound ludicrous? Is what I've got to say completely insane? Make sure to tell me what you think in the comments below. Thanks for reading!

DiZ and his Secert Ansem Reports

**Spoilers**
Continuing from yesterday, Ansem the Wise was sent to the Realm of Darkness by Xehanort and the other aprentices after they became Organization XIII. Their betrayal resulted in his obsession with revenge. While residing in the Realm of Darkness, he wrote his own reports to keep his sanity. He also changed his name from the forged "Ansem" to DiZ or Darkness is Zero. His reports called The Secret Ansem Reports which expressed the results of the events leading up to his banishment, his transformation to DiZ, his befriending for Darkness and its' powers without being consumed by it.
How also he watched Sora and co. defeat Ansem Seeker of Darkness and seal Kingdom Hearts. He explains his escape from the Realm Of Darkness by means of Dark Corridors, his entrance to Castle Oblivion and Sora, Donald, Goofy, Mickey and Riku's time there. He also mentions Naminé and her creation as Kairi's nobody and her abilities. He moved Sora to Twilight Town's Old Mansion where DiZ was living at the time to recover his memories he lost during the events of Chain of Memories. Near the end of the reports he mentions his reunion with Riku who now takes the form Ansem Seeker of Darkness, and the luring of Roxas to the Virtual Twilight Town. The reports end with Sora, Donald, and Goofy's awakening.
Near the end of KHII, DiZ returns only this with out his mask. He carries a machine which he plans to turn Organizations XIII's Kingdom Hearts to data. But Kingdom Hearts can't be converted to data, and with some final words and apologizes to his friends and some bitter words to Xemnas, the machine explodes and "kills" him, the blast cures Riku of his Ansem form.

And that was the end of Ansem... or so we thought.
In the Secert Ending of Birth By Sleep or Blank Points, it shows Ansem sitting in the Realm of Darkness once again, so instead of dying he returned to the shores of the Dark Realm, slowly losing his memories. This is where Aqua meets him and they talk about the events above and Sora, giving Aqua hope.
Ansem is by far one of the most mysterious characters in the series and one of my personal favorites.

Aqua and Ansem in the Dark Realm

Ansem the Wise, Xehanort and the Ansem Reports

-Ansem the Wise(pictured right) is one of the characters responsible for the entire Kingdom Hearts series.
-Ansem The Wise was the Sage/King of Radiant Garden.
-He and His Apprentices,Braig, Dilan, Even, Aeleus, Ienzo, and Xehanort(pictured left), studied the Heart.
-He worried about darkness and what it was capable of. He conducted tests on Xehanort's heart, trying to discover his lost memories and to find secrets of the heart.
-King Mickey came to Radiant Garden by the newly discovered Gummi ship. Mickey and Ansem talked about many subjects including darkness.

-After Ansem forbade Xehanort to carry on with the experiments he used the laboratory built under the castle by Ansem and created his Nobody, Xemnas, and Heartless, Ansem Seeker of Darkness, as well the other apprentices-resulting in Organization XIII
-Ansem discovered the Ansem Reports that Xehanort had written under his name(Ansem wrote the 1st one)
-They sent Ansem to the Realm of Darkness where he became DiZ, where he also wrote his own
"Ansem Reports".


-Lets dwell on the Ansem Reports for a moment.

-As I said before The Ansem Reports were written by Xehanort under Ansem's name.
-They talk about Xehanort's findings when studying the heart, his discovery of the Heartless, his opening of Radiant Garden's door, his findings of Gummi's, his creation of Artificial or Emblem Heartless, and even his own creation of his own Heartless. What I found interesting in reading the reports again is that, in Ansem Report 11 he states "I have chosen a special girl. I do not know if she possesses the power of the Princesses, but there is a chance, and this is an experiment. She may lead me to the place where the one holding the key is... I shall send her off to the ocean of other worlds. " The girl is Kairi, leading him to Destiny Islands with Sora and Riku! I didn't know Xehanort was the one who sent Kairi to Destiny Islands. The Ansem Reports explain the plot majorly and are a must read for any Kingdom Hearts Fan.

Evolution of: Wonderland

Wonderland is one of the most interesting worlds in Kingdom Hearts. It has some of the most intriguing level designs, too. From KH1 to Re:Coded I think it is incredibly fun. Here is Wonderland from beginning to now.

Kingdom Hearts:
This is the first Disney world you ever travel to. Its got a pretty expected cast of character from Alice to the Queen of Hearts. Wonderland also has one of the most memorable boss fights, the Trickmaster.

Chain of Memories/Re:COM:
This iteration has a very similar storyline, but is focused around memories this time around. The characters and bosses are exactly the same as the original game.

Reverse/Rebirth:
Being in Riku's story, there is no real storyline within the world. Riku fights the Trickmaster as well.

358/2 Days:
This time around Roxas has a bit more areas to discover. There are two sets of mazes that you can travel through and fight in. These areas have Card Soldiers that are constantly on the lookout while you're searching through them. In this world you commonly have Luxord teamed up with you on your missions.

Re:Coded:
Being inside a computer has changed Wonderland. This time around there are plenty of Blox blocking your path and "Inklings" you have to search for. The mazes return and feature one of the most amusing parts of Wonderland: a glitch causes the Card Soldiers to run around 20x faster than they normally would be able to.

The Trickmaster fight this time around has been changed so that you are essentially are playing a shooter game from behind the back.
 
The Future:
I think that the next step for Wonderland is the new Alice film made by Tim Burton. It could be a pretty entertaining new spin on this pretty overdone world.
