how does one measure that?I mean I'd be fine with it and obviously there are a lot of people who'd like that.
But personally I like Sora/Kairi. Give Terra a boyfriend.
How would you feel if Square set up Sora and Riku to be in a releationship?

- Start date
They count the fan fiction with those characters parred together on fanfiction.net.
To be honest I looked it up to be sure before posting that and it says so in a wiki but if I think hard I feel like it's true. The next bit may be a spoiler to some so I'mma put it in a spoiler tag.
If Sora was 15 in KH2 then I think it makes sense that he is 16 because of the conversation Ansem the Wise has with Aqua in the realm of darkness. He mentions that he caused trouble about year ago and in kingdom hearts 3 it is revealed that that conversation happen during the events of three since Ansem Seeker of Darkness kidnaps him.
I'm sure there's countless more on other websites , not to mention a bunch of fancomics and stuff.
If they actually went the whole way and did all that other stuff, that's a lot of work
I mean, people are going to see romantic undertones in scenes, and KH series pretty much went full Shonen form 2-onwards with the whole "male friendships are the most powerful bonds in the universe."
For their project it's based pretty much only on fanfictiin.net. Yeah it'd be a lot of work and probably different if they tried to cover everything but I think they only do this for fun.
Though Sora/Riku is still obviously the most popular.
To give another example Sora/Kairi is tagged on 410 fics on archive of our own.
Sora/Riku is on 1375.
Would be awesome honestly, I think it would make a more interesting story than Sora and Kairi(who is kinda boring anyway). Also, it would be the first main gay relationship in gaming, which would be a big deal.
But let's face it, main gay protagonists in a big game or movie franchise isn't going to happen anytime soon.

Claims that Sora x Riku would be forced are ironic when they have the most intimate relationship in the series whereas Sora x Kairi is based on not much more than one character being a boy and the other being a girl.

I would shudder at the fact they would even try considering how messed up they would do it. Have you played the KH games? It would make no god damn sense and they would probably botch the whole thing and make it somehow toxic. I love the KH games I do not want SE touching LGBT relationships with a 100 foot pole though because I do not think they would do it any justice.
Exactly.. jokes aside though I don't see issue but someone out there would.
True, looking forward to that and hope it paves the way for more gay protagonists/relationships in the future.
I'm not denying that
I support this ship, i'm just saying if anyone did do all that... its alot of work
Because in KH3 Sora and Kairi
practically exchange rings (fruit) and do their vows already, and I think they hold hands too, basically anime equivalent of doing it
This was me throughout my entire play through of Dream Drop Distance:
Symphony of Sorcery may have been the peak: Sora and Riku affectionately reminiscing about each other as 'Dearly Beloved' became the musical embodiment of their relationship sure was something.

What about the Sora x Donald x Goofy relationship?
this is...incredibly intimate looking
Still making my way through KHIII so I'm not clicking any of those spoiler tags, but up until now they've at least had a ton more interaction and Sora and Kairi's scenes are almost always Sora just being like "wow nice to see you, how ya been, anyway I'm gonna go find Riku, later." I've come to not expect major publishers to put male gay leads in their games, especially to unequivocally show they're in a relationship. For example In Zesteria it seemed like they were angling for a Sorey/Mikleo thing and apparently someone who worked on the game said they're basically destined lovers but hell if they come out and say it in the actual game.
I am so thirsty for quality poly content. Probably going to be waiting a looooooong time.

Neither opposed nor for I guess? Depends on how they contextualized it. I feel like up until this point in the story their care for each other has been portrayed as brotherly so as it's currently written it might come off wrong. But if they tweaked some things in the story so far I could see it working.
Like it needs another forced het romance?
Nah, everything needs more gay, straight up
I'm 110% for it
It's one of the most earned romances in video game history
I haven't beaten KH3 but I've always assumed the secret ending would be them finally kissing. Listen to Don't Think Twice. They spell it out.

You people give me a migraine sometimes
this is bordering on "no homo"
Fuck off, we deserve more than this
friends dont need representation
Personally I wouldn't care if it happened but Sora is clearly for Kairi since the first game.
Even more with KH3 which makes that even clear with their scenes in the game as something romantic for both
Saying Sora and Riku would be forced but Sora and Kairi aren't causes me to make a thinking emoji face.
Two guys can just be good bros, sure, but why are male main character and secondary female character never extended that same "they're just good friends" courtesy. Man the developments in KHIII better be wild.

No. It doesn't need romance at all, I want the character be miserable as I am! HAHAHAHA!
Please, being gay or hetero, love me, I'm alone =(
Then why don't you ask for one of the characters who doesn't have an established love interest from Day 1 to be gay then?
Why don't we see how Lea and Isa are doing?
I don't see it happening, but if it does I wouldn't mind.
I didn't play KH3 yet but from what I've seen so far, Axel and Saix are more likely imo.

Shipping and pairings are a thing on pretty much every entertainment media. It's way outside of anime. You see it on comics, movies, games, series and many others lol
Go ahead and show me the scenes that depict a romantic relationship rather than one between two best friends. Nothing from KH3 cause I'm not done it yet tho.
