Cutscene Quotes

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

• "Mickey... I cannot shake the feeling something terrible is about to transpire."
  — before the start of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.

Terra's Story

• "Yes. Eraqus's pupil. I've been expecting you. It is the Unversed."
  — upon meeting Terra.
• "You refer to Mickey. He, too, sought guidance here. As a king, he is good and kind. But the weight of a crown has not cured him of impetuousness. He left with an object whose power he does not understand nor know how to control. Mickey imagines my Star Shard will be of help in his current quest. And, like you, he is eager to use his Keyblade to set things right."
  — talking about Mickey.
• "I must not make assumptions... Find Xehanort, Terra. That is where you should begin."
  — giving advice to Terra.
• "I had hoped, Xehanort, your heart would no longer lead you astray."
  — after Terra leaves.

Ventus's Story

• "Eraqus has told me much about you. If I am not mistaken, you were ordered to return home."
  — talking to Ventus about Eraqus.
• "Where is this clue to Mickey's whereabouts?"
  — talking about Mickey.
• "As I thought... Mickey has been hurling himself from one world to the next. That explains why I could not discern his location."
  — talking about Mickey's situation.
• "You two? That may not be adequate."
  — talking to Donald and Goofy.
• "Very well, Ventus. We will leave it to you."
  — before Ventus leaves.

Aqua's Story

• "Aqua, the stars bring me grave news. Master Eraqus's star has blinked out. I am afraid that means he has been struck down."
  — talking to Aqua about Eraqus's death.
• "I hope with all my heart that you are right about your friend. There are some things even the stars cannot tell me."
  — talking to Aqua.
• "Terra's heart is leading him to the ancient Keyblade Graveyard, where wielders of those weapons once waged war."
  — telling Aqua the location of where Terra is.
• "Aqua, you lost consciousness. Fortunately, Mickey found you and Ventus drifting in the Lanes Between, and brought you back to me to receive proper care. I am sorry, but there was no sign of Terra."
  — after Aqua wakes up in Mysterious Tower.
• "I will tell you what your friend needs right now. It is not your protection. He needs you to believe. You see, Ventus's heart hangs in the balance. It sleeps in the place between light and darkness. From all I can perceive, that means he will be looking for a friend--one who believes in him, to show him the way home. Just as long as you love him...then Ventus will be able to find you when he wakes. He can follow that love back to where he belongs--the realm of light."
  — talking to Aqua about Ventus.

Kingdom Hearts II

• "So, you are Sora. Now then, have you seen the King yet?"
  — upon meeting Sora.
• "Yes. I know. However, everything in your journey, Sora, is connected. Whether you will find your way home to the islands... Whether you will return alone or with your friend... And, whether or not the islands will still be there. And the key that connects them all is you, Sora."
  — talking to Sora.
• "Your past endeavors did prevent an immense effusion of Heartless from the great darkness; make no mistake about that. However, the Heartless are darkness made real---and darkness lingers yet in every heart. The Heartless are fewer. But while darkness exists in a single heart, it will be difficult to eliminate them."
  — talking about why there are still Heartless.
• "If one such as you, Donald, yields to the darkness in their heart, they too will become a Heartless. But you know this. The Heartless are always lurking and ever seeking to capture new hearts. Never let your guard down! Now then...At times, if someone with a strong heart and will---be they evil or good---becomes a Heartless, the empty shell they leave behind begins to act with a will of its own. An empty vessel whose heart has been stolen away... A spirit that goes on even as its body fades from existence---for you see, Nobodies do not truly exist at all. Nobodies may seem to have feelings, but this is a ruse---they only pretend to have hearts. You must not be deceived!"
  — talking about the existence of Nobodies to Sora and company.
• "While Heartless act on instinct, Nobodies function in a higher manner. They can think and plan. And it seems they are working towards a goal. What that goal is, we do not know. The King sensed the danger, and journeyed forth to fight it. He found the dark realm's Keyblade, and with it, closed the door. Now he's traveling from world to world, fighting the Heartless as he seeks the answer to the riddle of the Nobodies and Organization XIII."
  — talking about Mickey, Nobodies and Organization XIII.
• "Through there, you'll find three good fairies. If you ask, they'll create for you appropriate garments."
  — talking about giving Sora new garments.
• "Do not fear. If what the King suspected proves true, the worlds have prepared new pathways along which you may travel. These pathways may be utilized by unlocking special gates. How these gates are opened, I'm afraid I do not know... However, the Keyblade will serve as your guide. When a beam of light radiates from the Keyblade, return to the Gummi Ship. Though the worlds may seem far apart and out of reach, they nonetheless remain connected by invisible ties. As do our hearts."
  — talking about how Sora and company can travel.
• "Now then, that is all the information I can give to you. Go forth, Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Everyone is waiting."
  — before Sora and company leaves.

Kingdom Hearts Re:coded

Signs of What's Next

• "Hm…The question is, what does Xehanort intend to do next?"
  — at Mickey's resolve to rescue Terra's heart.
• "Correct. Those two met their end. However therein lies exactly our problem. Their destruction now guarantees the original Xehanort’s reconstruction."
  — talking to Mickey about Xehanort's resurrection.
• "Xehanort’s heart, once seized by his Heartless half, is now free; and his body, which had become his Nobody, has been vanquished. Both halves can now return to the whole: in short, this means Master Xehanort will return."
  — talking to Mickey about Xehanort's resurrection.
• "Yes, they are indeed strong, but not true Keyblade Masters like you. Tell me, would a single one of you suffice, if what you faced was not a single one of him?"
  — talking to Mickey about Sora and Riku.
• "Mickey…please summon Sora here. Riku as well."
  — after discussing Sora and Riku not being Keyblade Masters.
• "To show us the Mark of Mastery."
  — requesting Mickey to summon Sora and Riku.

"Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance"

• "As a Keyblade Master, Xehanort had a gift like few others. but such great minds are often plagued by a single great question. What is the essence of the human heart that weakens us, or empowers us? the answer, he believed, would be found in the "Keyblade War." What if the challenges of our past were, in fact, a map to the light and darkness that battles within us all? Xehanort had to know, so he renounced his duties as master and chose the seeker's life. since then, in many a guise, he has clashed with protectors of the light- Keyblade wielders like yourselves. And mark my words- he will trouble us yet again."
  - explaining to Sora and Riku about Xehanort.
• "We must be ready. Which is why you, Sora and Riku, are to be tested for the mark of a true Keyblade Master. No doubt you fancy yourselves masters already, but it takes years of training. only a true master can teach you the proper way. Both of you are self-taught Keyblade wielders- an impressive feat. However, the time has come for you to let go of preconceived notions, forget what you know about the Keyblade, and begin your training again with a clean slate."
  - telling Sora and Riku to begin training.
• "Very well, then. Sora and Riku, let your examination begin."
  - beginning the Mark of Mastery Exam.
• "If we are ever to strike down Xehanort, we need the individuals King Mickey spoke of in his letter. We must lead them out of sorrow and slumber, and back to our world. To do so, seven Sleeping Keyholes must be found and unlocked, and a great power retrieved. As you know, every world is walled off from the next, preventing travel between them. In the past, you could bridge these gaps because the walls were broken, or because you could open special Lanes with your Keyblades. But your new goals, the "Sleeping Keyholes," are harder to reach. You'll recall, in your first journey, that you brought many worlds back from the darkness- but some never returned completely. They still sleep, cut off from all outside channels. Not even the Heartless can enter. But these Sleeping Worlds are said to have their own manner of darkness. They are called "Dream Eaters," and there are two kinds- "Nightmares," which devour happy dreams- and the benevolent "Spirits," which consume the Nightmares. The Dream Eaters will guide you, just as the Heartless once guided you, to the Keyhole you seek at the heart of each world."
  - explains to Sora and Riku about the Sleeping Worlds and the Dream Eaters.
• "Long ago, in the age of fairy tales, the World was filled with light- a gift, many believed, from an unseen power known as "Kingdom Hearts." You see, Kingdom Hearts was protected by its counterpart, the "x-blade," so that none could ever lay hands on its mysteries. But in time, the World was overrun by legions who wanted the light all for themselves, and the first shadows were cast upon the land. These warriors crafted "Keyblades" in an image of the original x-blade, and waged a great war over Kingdom Hearts. We call this the "Keyblade War." But though the war extinguished all light from the World, the darkness could not reach the brightness inside every child's heart. With that light, the World was remade as we know it today, with countless smaller worlds shining like stars in the sky. As for the real x-blade, it did not survive the battle. The two elements that created it, one of darkness and one of light, shattered into twenty pieces- seven of light; thirteen of darkness. And as for the source of all light- the one true Kingdom Hearts- it was swallowed by the darkness, never to be seem again. As long as it remains there, ever the brightest world will have its dark corners. After all, light begets darkness, and darkness is drawn to light. For this reason, some decided to use the Keyblade- a weapon designed to conquer the light- to defend the light instead. These were the first heroes of the Keyblade."
  - explains to Sora and Riku about the Keyblade War.
• "One dream is connected to another, which means we must choose in which "Sleeping World" you will begin. I will return you to the Destiny Islands just before they were swallowed by the darkness and plunged into sleep. Once dreams take you, you must let them guide you to the Sleeping Worlds. As there are seven pure lights, there are seven "Sleeping Keyholes." Unlocking these will both grant you new powers, and free the worlds from their wakelessness. Complete this task, and return here safety, and I will name you both... true masters."
  - explains to Sora and Riku about the task they have to do.
• "In the Sleeping Worlds, real time does not flow. Unless one restores the world by waking it from its slumber, it will stay locked in a dream forever. Thus, you may encounter familiar faces... but they are just figments of the dream. In actuality, they are sound asleep- trapped within a world that is also sleeping. What's more, whilst someone may no longer dwell in the real version of a world, dreams may paint a fuller picture, and restore what seems to be missing."
  - explains to Sora and Riku about what happens when the Worlds dream.
