Line 24:
* [[Breather Boss]]: After the water-based hell that was [[That One Boss|Demyx]], the fight against 1000 Heartless (most of them among the weakest in the game) is a welcome change,. even if it is rather long.
* [[Complete Monster]]:
** Xemnas, no doubt. {{spoiler|As Xehanort's Nobody, he wants to claim Kingdom Hearts for himself just as Ansem did but rather than cast the universe into darkness, he wants to reduce all hearts to a state of nothingness so that from there he can build a new worldWorld order using Kingdom Hearts' power forever bonded with his own to [[A God Am I|rule like a God.]] Gaining a heart andas means of being able to feel means '''NOTHING''' to him; he just wants power and will use anyone to gainsatisfy it.his ''358/2yearning Days''for goes furthercompleteness and showswill thatuse basically ALL of the other Organization members were toolsanyone to him,obtain and that he wanted all of them either dead or under his complete control by the time he got what he desired so he could rule unrivaled. And even worse, ''Dream Drop Distance'' reveals that he knew all along that Nobodies could regrow hearts, he intentionally kept them in the dark (except Xigbar) in order to keep them in line with his planit.}}
** Surprising no one, [[The Lion King|Scar]] is this. His heart is so dark, that much like {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|Xehanort]], he looks the same as a Heartless as he did when he still had a heart, His ghosts are also made from his lingering darkness, which merges together into a HUGE Heartless, that's how much evil he had!}}.
* [[Contested Sequel]]: Due to the aforementioned [[Kudzu Plot]]. And the [[Draco in Leather Pants|Organization.]] [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|Oh God,]] [[Base Breaker|the Organization.]] The gameplay causes this too, to a lesser extent.
** [[Critical Dissonance]]: In an inverse of the usual example, ''KHII'' is the best-reviewed game in the series by a small margin, but isn't as unanimously loved by fans as it is by professional critics.
* [[Demonic Spiders]]: The Hot Rod Heartless. Besides having a lot of health, they enter a berserk mode when their health goes down, which makes them charge you at [[Back to The Future|88 miles per hour]] 3 times [[For Massive Damage]]. During this time, they're completely invincible, and they can enter this berserk mode over and over again if they want to. And you know the worst part? They come in pairs and along other Heartless. [[Goddamned Bats|FUCKING CARS]].
** '''FREAKING DANCERS'''. They have a move where they turn ''invincible'', slide across the floor towards you at high speed, grab you, swing you around, and throw you away. This move is '''''completely unblockable''''' and ''very'' difficult to dodge. The Titan Cup and especially the Titan Paradox Cup is made a nightmare because of the battle where you have to face three Dancers. Fittingly, they are controlled by Demyx.
Line 43 ⟶ 41:
*** [[What Happened to the Mouse?|And considering a Nobody is created when someone with a particularly-strong heart becomes a Heartless...]]
* [[Even Better Sequel]]: Largely considered this gameplay-wise. Story-wise, it's [[Broken Base|a matter of debate]]. It ''is'' the best-reviewed game in the series on Metacritic and GameRankings by a small margin, if that means anything.
* [[Fanon Discontinuty]]: Because of the post credit scene's [[Happy Ending Override]] as well as future games starting to amplify the [[Kudzu Plot]], some suggest that the franchise, or at least Sora's story in general, should have ended here.
* [[Fridge Horror]]: Scar, after having Sora, Donald, and Goofy surrounded, tells the other lions to start hunting for prey. They remind him that the herds have moved on and that there's nothing left to hunt. Scar then gestures at Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Horrid enough on its own, but because {{spoiler|since Sora has transformed into a lion, Scar is basically telling the other lions to resort to cannibalism.}}
** He COULD have just been referring to Donald and Goofy, though.
* [[Goddamned Bats]]: God damned ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean|zombie pirates]]''. They can only be damaged by your attacks when they're standing in clear moonlight. If they're fighting you in an area with a lot of shady spots, expect a tedious battle to ensue. To make up for it, it's really easy and very satisfying to hit them with magic spells to screw around with them.
** God damned Crimson Jazzes. They're like the other Color/Music Heartless, except bigger and ''very persistent''. It's impossible to get clean attacks on them because they're always summoning chains of fireballs around you that explode almost immediately to send you flying. And if you try to run away, even with such abilities as Level 4 Quick Run/Glide? They'll just fly over to you so fast you'll ''swear'' they teleported, and smack you with their ass before summoning more fireballs to spawn on top of you for 10 seconds. The worst part is it's impossible to even flinch them, so you can't just interrupt their fireball attack or smack them and then run away. It says something when it's actually ''easier'' to deal with a Crimson Jazz when it [[Turns Red]] because its new attack is far less annoying.
* [[Heartwarming Moments (Sugar Wiki)|Heartwarming Moments]]: The ending.
* [[Ho Yay]]: The [[Limit Break|Limit]] of Jack. That is all.
** [[The Nightmare Before Christmas|Which]] [[Pirates of the Caribbean|Jack?]]
Line 88 ⟶ 86:
** The reason he imagined Kairi as her 14-year-old self is because that was when he last saw her. He didn't know what she looked like at 15-years-old yet. But yeah, it still looks kinda weird.
** There exists a very vocal portion of the fanbase that firmly believes that Axel thinks of Roxas as a lover as opposed to his friend. His {{spoiler|death scene}} has quite notable [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]] vibes.
* [[Rescued Fromfrom the Scrappy Heap]]: Kairi once she [[Took a Level Inin Badass|broke away]] from her [[Damsel in Distress]] role. Except for the people who liked her better in KH1. Yeah, [[Broken Base|the KH fandom never can agree on anything.]]
** Gameplay-wise, the Gummi ship segments, which are a whole lot cooler to look at if nothing else, and also your ship gets an automatic upgrade with each segment passed, so you don't have to spend the time tediously doing it for yourself.
* [[Ron the Death Eater]]: Yen Sid, Ansem the Wise, and Sora, all for the same reasons..."prejudice" against [[Draco in Leather Pants|the Nobodies.]]
