You shouldn't fear kids of any ethnic group really. I am sure some black kids also fear white kids or have a lot of resentment towards them because of what they are 'taught' by people older who hold animosity and all. There are so many things that we can all take as prejudice, and well, I think it is more reasonable to fear the prejudiced minded person who does not research and wake up to see things can be different, but only if we change the views of those who still hold biases and predetermined fears. Whether someone is dark skinned or light, purple or whatever, it has been proven we -can- get along and the fact that children all put together of different 'races' can coexist just fine as long as they don't hear adults say stupid things shows that. Kids and anyone with a free-thinking mind should be able to learn that anyone of any race can be prejudiced and harmful, while others of any race may be totally not with that. The kid who is bothering you is just giving in to a stereotypical group and thinks it is 'cool' to act like that. It is promoted by others around and if he does bad in school, beats up on people and all he's 'fighting the system' and 'the man' etc. Sadly, it is also making him fall behind and possibly leading him to a life where he will spend time behind bars. Maybe that can be a small comfort to you because if he does not wake up soon, he's going to really have set up for himself a miserable life. He can blame society and 'the white man' for what is going on, but in the end, he's self-destructive. I have a lot of friends who are darker skinned and though they talk the talk and wear the clothes, they are good people and aren't going out to bully people or make others miserable, to include setting themselves back. Heck, sometimes I wear baggier pants and all but that's because some are comfortable, though I don't let them fall off my rear heh. This kid may be a bad egg, but don't let it get you fearing and thinking that all black kids not dressed the same as white kids etc are like that. It's a prejudice too due to bad experiences with some of them. I've had bad experiences too but I realize that it's because those who I had to deal with had predispositions about me and not the other way around. You don't want to become what you hate and prejudiced people bring us all down. There are many people of assorted ethnic backgrounds that get along just fine because they learned to stop listening to others and also learned there are biased people and they are best to be grouped on their own. Who knows...maybe someday all the biased people that refuse to get along and want to run up excuses while trashing their own lives will just go off and combat each other so the rest of us can have some peace. It is sad that you face that kind of criticism for dressing and acting how you want but you face adversity well. The stereotypes that people try to fit into, some also spew hate as the message for why it exists. In the end, as said above, I sometimes wear 'black peoples' clothes because they are comfortable and loose fitting but at the same time I tend to wear just a lot of T-shirts and baggy pants or sports stuff, and some goth punk. I also have suits and all. I'm half Apache and the other half is Caucasian and really I could care what people think about how I dress or what I do as it's not out to hurt anyone. I also agree with the statement you made that a lot of the kids claim stuff but in reality it's not happening. A lot of people brag or push others and then make big claims or threats. A few carry them out but in my experience, most are just windbags that push and try to spread fear to make a reputation and it's all hot air. If they are ignored and you make adamant you will be yourself and be friends with who you want etc, these people lose power as others also say they are going to be who they are. Hate can be quelled by having acceptance and tolerance and just moving around them and spreading the word basically to others that you aren't like that. Hate is often 'justified' but in the end, the more others say it's stupid to be biased and closed minded, and the more we raise kids to have tolerance and see beyond clothes, fashion, monetary incomes and all, the better we will be. It's all pretty materialistic if you think about it and school tends to amplify that with the cliques and groups. I do think that the next time the kid messes with you, Naruto, I'd just tell him to back off or just adamantly ignore him and try hard to not fear someone by dress, race, etc. It can be hard but as said, don't let yourself become prejudiced too. That person will either wake up or have a very crappy future. Others though are already awake and you might find a good friend sometime in someone of another ethnic group. Adults tend to be able to do that better than kids have a chance in some rough schools. I know a lot of people as I've been in college and it's almost like another world. People actually express their individuality more because people aren't there to always shoot them down for it.
There seem to be some Christians here who voice against this but I cannot fathom how they do not watch the news and hear some of their more zealot compatriots spewing this stuff out, let alone people at school, work etc. There are a lot of movies and books written about people suffering because of God's will. In the Bible, there are many points where people are told to prove their faiths by killing others for having different ones or that God himself punishes people. Job, the Egyptians, Sodom and Gamora, and just too many examples all show that if people just believed more, they wouldn't be so darned punished, and in wars, they'd be the victors instead of suffering nasty plagues etc. Also, we can look at the fact that quite a few Christians are taught the end of the world is coming and their faiths are being tested. I've been in some of these classes they've taught -kids- to get them to accept that their only salvation from impending doom that can come at any time is to believe and put absolute faith in Jesus. Mostly, those I've seen ascribe to this way of thought are Televangelists, Southern Baptists, some Protestants and Methodists. Also, we can toss in Jehovas Witnesses, Mormons and any other radical group that has shown up in the last few hundred years. I don't tend to hear it coming from Catholics usually and I will acknowledge that there are a fair number of Protestants who don't buy into it and it seems to truly be up to the ministers or pastors what is taught. I would surmise really that the uneducated who don't want to bother to look up anything but what's in the pages of the Bible are the ones mostly into these kinds of beliefs. The Puritans were like this and it has a hold especially on American society where we seem to have a lot of people of blind faith. The other Christians that actually research and take any studies of reality seriously can and do find reasons why things work as they do. Calamities such as weather conditions and environmental changes would occur whether people are plopped down in the territory or not. These things can be scientifically analyzed and explained. Shootings and serial killings, rape, gang activities, mafias etc can also be explained with psychiatry, sociology and anthropology. There are reasons why these things all happen and the physical ones caused by humans are just that...caused by humans. I have failed to ever find a 'supernatural' reason regardless of whether people say God or Satan wanted them to do the acts. Weather conditions or earthquakes, volcanoes etc also just don't pop out of nowhere. We can explain these phenomena. The information is out there and all it takes is people to look for it, examine and learn. The easy way out has always been to blame the causes for these things on something of a bigger sentient being. As we are moving into an age where more things can be explained, I see now more a dividing force between religion and logical thinking. Some Christians can pull off both well, but there is an alarming number of them that cannot and instead seem to be dividing themselves further away from logical thinking because they believe that anything that goes against the words in the Bible is tremendously evil and a display set up by Satan to steer people away from faith. It does feel though, especially in the U.S. that the divisions are becoming very prominent and there's just this tremendous feeling of passive aggressive hostilities versus four groups. The first group are those who believe in Christianity and yet also want to move with the age we are in and tend to not take the Bible literally, but adapt. They believe in God and Jesus but aren't going out of their way to 'save' everyone and turn them to their beliefs. They have more tolerance and comprehension of the world around them and don't condemn others who don't feel as they do, while still being connected to their own choice of faith. They see it as a 'choice' and acknowledge the right of others to believe. This doesn't mean they don't try to sway people but if told to back off, generally they will. They also don't go about trying to avoid educating themselves or blaming every act on God or the Devil that happens. They tend to know if they messed up that the Devil didn't make them do it, etc. The second group is the fundamentalists which try to force others to religion through passive aggressive behavior that sometimes even goes to full out hostility. This number is growing at an alarming rate and they are the strongest pushers for division of people. These people are the ones who go out and burn Harry Potter books, teach children to fear and talk about God and Jesus with every other sentence, they have glassy eyes and smile all the time even while condemning people to Hell, they attack abortion clinics and also bully and abuse others. They also spend a lot of time deciding who is a 'real' Christian and who is not. I'm to the point anymore of just calling these people delusional and it's like they cling to ways that are best left to the path of the dinosaur. These people are fanatical enough to say that everything they do is driven by God or the Devil or Jesus and all calamities are caused by negative things they or others did. All good things that happen are miracles. The third group are those who don't believe or are Agnostic. They tend to mostly go about being more of mind to be part of things and research to explain events and all. They and group 1 can get along for the most part. There are some activists in these groups too, and some can tend to get sick of Christianity on a whole because of the displays of the 2nd group. This probably would not happen so much if people actually did something about the 2nd group but no one wants to but this group and the fourth. After all, just because they believe in the same thing but in their own way, doesn't mean they can't continue. This lays on more sentiment that Christians should be lumped together because no one is taking care of the fundies and they in fact have a tremendous lot of pull even in our government. Perhaps some Atheists and Agnostics go too far in their thoughts but most would not if this 2nd group was restrained in some fashion or put on medication. All in all, whether 'sure' there is no God or not, they want to live their lives free of the negative connotations of religion and figure they can also live without the positives too, taking responsibility for their actions and dictating that the persons are at fault or there is some other explanation than God and Lucifer. The fourth group are those not of the Christian faith (though Islamic followers can also be put in groups 1 and 2 if you think about it, as can Jews). They have their own beliefs and as Soush mentioned, some of those religions such as Hinduism have been around a lot longer and yet humanity still endures. They have their own fanatics too but in Europe and America we really don't have to deal with them so much as they are not anywhere near a growing majority. They adapt to the way another society is when outside of their regions for the most part and aren't collectively in numbers able to draw thousands. In their own countries, things happen and the religion issues may be no different than what is set up here except to change around the name of the religion. In other countries not of their origins though, or because the religions were replaced by monotheistic ones or removed utterly but for in solitude, these people are seen in any number of ways. Group 1 and 3 will deal with them far better than group 2 which attacks and tries to force conversion. This is just a basic outline that seems to be developing at least where I can see in America. I do think though it an apply to various places around the world easily enough and people can apply their own percentages of population that fall into each. I really though cannot see how Christian posters are denying that these people exist who are doom sayers etc. They are real and out there. If you doubt it, just go out as a joke and yell "I'm an Atheist" and see the response you get. Then the divisions between Christians can easily be noted. Also, a funny thing to comment on last. The original Pledge of Allegiance had no mention of God in it. The person who wrote it was a devout Christian. The thing though he wanted to put in was the word 'Equality' but at the time this was revoked because all men and women were not considered equal and there was slavery going on at the time. In 1954, during the McCarthy era is when the term "Under God" was placed into the Pledge. The Pledge was originally written in 1852 by Francis Bellamy, who was an American Baptist minister. He wrote it to be neutral and accepting for all. In truth, the Pledge of Allegiance was altered by people and has lost its original purpose of uniting us all. I have this wish that the word Equality will one day replace 'under God' and it would be a great step to peace, whether group 2 I mentioned likes it or not. If a Baptist minister can create the Pledge and not be a biased person, how nice it would be if we would all have respect for that. Thoughts on this?[/QUOTE] VGN, why does it have to be she's 'blessed' with them? Did you ever stop and think that she -worked- for them or that some of the things were given to her by -people-? Again, this stuff can be explained with a rational thinking mind instead of trying to say everything lies in some being's hands beyond vision. You may believe that you have the things you do by God's intervention, but really, try asking for a change how you have that computer there or the roof over your head. I don't think you give enough credit to the mortal people who provide you with things and that's a disappointment because I'm sure parents, employment and all are a big part of that.
I can't stand Hillary or the fact she's managed to somehow avoid charges against her. I really don't understand how this woman so captured people's attentions and support but I suppose it has to do with Bill's naughty infidelity and people joking that she was the one running things when Bill was in office. I really wish more people would research the great past of Hillary Clinton more before they'd vote. I also wish that women would pick a better role-model. She's just awful as a person. She's done some decent things, but living with her here in NY, I can say she hasn't done that much and yet people fawn all over her. Any way.../end rant. rawr. I had to vote for McCane though he's not the choice I'd want really either. It's very sad though that voting for leaders is like voting for the less evil one anymore.
I kicked my cat off the bed and she bit my toe. =:/
9/10 I could see Orange being staff. Definitely smart enough for it and cool enough to deal with the rest of us crazy people. I have to agree about Cocohints. You'd never make it! (ignores mod status).
When Sora awakened he remembered everything from KH1 and as he traveled. However, in CoM Namine told him he would have to choose between having the fabricated memories she put in his mind and of his time at the Castle Oblivion, or he would have to have his original memories back but remember nothing of his time in Castle Oblivion to include her. Sora chose to have his memories restored that he had prior to coming to the Castle so Namine worked on that. This is why later when opening the journal, all that is there on a page is 'Thank Namine' as a reminder. Sora apparently cannot get the former memories of Castle Oblivion back or know Roxas's memory either; at least at this time. However, he remembers his past on DI, his KH dealings and the KH2 events. He just is pretty much missing the time he had spent during CoM. Hope that explains it better.
I don't think CN is as bad as some other channels. I mean...I really do not like the artwork for so many cartoons out now. It's just awful. There are a couple cartoons showing up with decent artwork but then I have to see things like Sponge Bob. I'm also kind of sick of Pokemon and some other stuff. Cartoon Network always did take cartoons from other places to put on there and revive old stuff. It's been the way the network ran since well, they tried to grab up old shows to let people still be able to see them. I do think they could use some new things though, as others say. I just can't say though they are yet as bad as Disney or Nickelodeon, which other than 1 or 2 shows, I really don't like.
I think it'd be possible. Just instead of using the spell, you load people up with potions and all, and yourself. If the hardest bosses can be defeated that way, I don't see why the rest of the game can't be approached the same. The secret bosses would be more difficult but all of them have a pattern so if you sat through it, you could even beat them. It makes the game more of a challenge but I can say I didn't just always use the Cure spell for boss fights etc so I'd surmise it could be done.
If this person hit you and tripped this other person, I'd advise telling your parents if the school board won't acknowledge it. No one has a right to land a hand on your person. I would hope that someone would act and hope the situation has at least cleared up somewhat by now. If not though, and he does such a thing again where he actually tries to manhandle you, you should report that and ensure they know he was laying his hands on you. Also, if you have witnesses it would help. Absolutely go to parents if the school authorities won't do anything. Making fun of people is one thing. Hitting is another. It could be though that you standing up against the idiot was enough to encourage them to back off. I hope so. Some teachers do care. Others who grew jaded did so because of the way the admin handle these cases and they are used to parents of bullies whining and saying they will sue for erroneous judgments etc. Rules regarding these things have grown rather ridiculous and teachers themselves often feel powerless to do much because their jobs can be on the line. We seem to now defend the idiots instead of being able to have them disciplined because of situations of wrongful accusations or biases. Those teachers who do care and are willing to risk things remember what teaching is about and I hope they don't become a dying breed. However, if some things don't change with how parents who are neglectful to discipline kids and our resolves to that behavior, it's hard to see a positive outcome. The bad parents and rotten kids seem to have it easier than those who try to be good and just want to do what they need to. All the seminars n 'bullies' isn't going to make a difference if they don't see some actual action taken against that behavior. Bullying is a self gratification deed and so no one is going to reach through to their compassionate side. They feel justified in doing this behavior. So yeah, I wouldn't want to waste my time either on assemblies of this sort because there's absolutely no point and it's costing tax money to bother with it.
I'd say with this, it's the past and to try to let that go and accept it's over. There's nothing that can be done about that sort of thing and it's best chocked up to life's experiences. Many people compare themselves to others. We all do it to some level, but you don't want to let it be consuming and habitual. People who do that will find that they think they are always either better or worse than those around them and it can either make you very arrogant or very depressed. Try to not do that so much and you might be happier. Also, people think all sorts of things about others. Most of the time, paranoia doesn't pay off because the person makes the 'feelings' a person may have seem amplified and out of control. Also, it's sort of just taking a view of the pessimist that things will be as horrible as you can imagine with no real validity. It's far more important to think about what you feel about yourself than what you ponder others might think of you. People change their minds, but you also won't be able to tell. I do ponder if maybe with these mood shifts of feeling very confident and then depressed that it's not 'depression' that you should be being treated for, but instead possibly bipolar. Of course, since you can't be diagnosed over a message board, I'd see about talking to your therapist and explaining these mood shifts and seeing if maybe it's not bipolar, OCD or any other thing associated with or other than depression. I am glad to hear you are doing better than you were 3 years ago and I hope you continue to get better. Anxiety is a real drag and can bring you down. One focus, though as others have mentioned and I will again, is to try to not focus so much on what others are doing or you assume they are thinking. You should try to inwardly reflect and work on yourself. You aren't a carbon copy of anyone else so you aren't going to turn into what some of them want and you shouldn't despair. You are important as you. Well, you have a right to notice 'flaws' in your mom. She's human and not perfect and neither is anyone truly. It's not hard to figure out that someone has issues with commitment. If we look, we can find quite a few people like that. I don't think it makes you sound bad. My mother used to beat the tar out of me and religion was brought into the deal too. I know where you are coming from here. It made me into the adorable atheist I am today. The best advice I can give there is that your mom probably has some of the mental issues you do but they were never addressed. She's probably been very angry, anxious and lets her moods take her where she's going to go and to 'justify' them, she gets this person to come over and say you are bad. Totally disregard this because it's not you. It's her with some mental issues you probably inherited and she obviously didn't know better or want to see past that. You are doing what she didn't and getting help. As for her boyfriend that was the way he was...if he's gone, forget him. Yeah, it took time out of your life to suffer at the hands of your mom's 'winner' choice of a boyfriend, but I hope he's gone now and if he's not, there's probably little you can do if your mom doesn't see the issue but to hope you turn old enough and have a convenient way to get away from there. Your mom really does seem to have mental problems to me and you are suffering because of it. You should love her but also see she's fallible, just as we all are and she really should get help if she doesn't always want to repeat these bad mistakes she's doing. It doesn't seem to me you are doing anything too wrong yourself and your environment is bad so it's wreaking some havoc on you. Well, no one can go over and help you probably, but we do have good ears, I'd like to think (or eyes in this case). Loneliness is something we all feel at times and I hope hearing the responses people gave you would at least be some small comfort that some people do care and we acknowledge your existence. You might want to try getting yourself out more too, so that you can join some social groups and functions and feel more a part of life. Also, try exercising and things that raise the metabolism and give you a boost that way. It may help. I wish you luck and hope things get better for you. As for people having worse problems, as others said, try to not compare yourself to others so much. It's a good idea to have benevolence and compassion, realizing people all around suffer and go through their pangs of life, but really, when it comes to life, there's no real 'competition' for who suffers the most. We help as we can, we cope as we can. It's the big game. No one should have to feel utterly alone to face these things but sometimes we just are and have to endure until things change. So, it's good to realize you aren't the only one out there going through these things or even worse, but it doesn't mean you don't have problems and shouldn't pay attention to them too so you can fix them and adjust as need be. You are not any less important than anyone else, okay?
lol, now we have a way of dealing with violence in so many places, such as schools. Forget the knives and guns. Take a plastic noise making lightsaber to school and it can cope with the major menaces. I would guess he poked the guy somewhere rather painful or the noise and all and surprise made the guy realize he was compromised and couldn't just hit the woman or there were witnesses that time. Any way though, I'm so glad the child wasn't hurt and the attacker was sent running. As others have said, brave kid!
Wow, how lovely =:/ The woman must have just stood by and watched too if she was arrested. Some people are like that and are so co-dependent that they would watch something dreadful like that instead of beating the person down or running out of the house with the kid. Very tragic. I hope the child will be alright. There just isn't much to defend a person who would allow such a deed to happen. Of course, I truly hope the man gets some considerable time, as it seems the focus here more applies to the woman instead of the guy who actually did the crime. She's guilty of neglect and doing nothing but he's the one we should also have gotten more information on as he's the actual person who did the deed. Hope he gets some good time.
Humans have been evolving still. We are growing on the whole larger than our ancestors previously. Selective genetic alterations also would include that some local groups are able to breathe more efficiently in higher altitudes and others can swim under water for longer durations. There are people who are born without wisdom teeth and some also who are born without appendices. There are changes and the information is out there and all a person has to do is check up on it instead of just saying 'we aren't evolving anymore'. Even our cultures evolve and the ways we interact change. This is not a new thought. It is known as Intelligent Design, which in simple tries to merge Evolution together with the thought that a great mover initiated it and now and then alters things. The problem with this is that you still have to dismiss the Bible to say its true because there are still too many holes in it. Intelligent Design though, since God cannot be proven or disproved anymore than the Flying Spaghetti Monster, is just a way to try to force that God does exist and until Science can count it does, it's just a hypothesis and not even a theory. However, in saying such, it makes more sense than Creationism ever will.
If you are happy with Jeremy, stay with Jeremy. He hasn't messed up on you and it seems you are happier with him. One of the hardest things to do is to tell someone who was close to you that it's truly over but it seems you really need to lay that into Cody and say that you've been through too much pain and you see no change and it's truly done now. Just because a guy knows how to lay on the romantic lines and all does not mean a thing. It shows they know how to play a game. Anyone can lay on the shmooze with some acting technique. If your instincts tell you that you do not trust the person -listen to them-. They are generally correct. If he can't be open or honest any way, he's not worth it. I would strongly suggest in the end, whether you get with Jeremy or not, do yourself a favor and do not get back with Cody unless you -really- think this boy has changed. The signs are there that he's not into it all the way and just wants you there, but doesn't seem to really like you as he should or trust you. He wants to keep secrets and all and instinct really is a big thing here you should listen to over your 'feelings' otherwise. People are people and some of us love to do some jokes and talk some nasty raunchy things now and then. However, generally, if you ask most people to stop doing it -around you- then most people would be good natured and know not to go that far. It seems you laugh and deal with some of their jokes but when it turns to harassment and nastiness at you, you get offended. If they do not want to stop, they are being very inconsiderate. It seems though that your BF would stop and does care. After all, he's the one who has something to lose in all of this...You. The friend though doesn't and I think it might be that your BF is receiving some kind of peer pressure from the friend who happens to be kind of a jerk. You hold no power of influence over that friend of his, and the BF may feel strained between you two because he knows he has some sway but doesn't really want to lose either of you. Don't expect too much out of the friend of your BF. It's probably not going to happen that he's going to change. However, talk to your BF and tell him that when the friend starts to get that way, you will take off for a while until it's over and your BF can make a choice because no one should have to be there and deal with harassment. Then, when this friend won't stop acting big, just go ahead and don't make a stink about it, but do take off for a while. Then your BF will either tell him to cut it out or he'll leave, or you'll find out just what type of man you are really dating and if he's worth it or not. Others may have other takes on this, but sometimes it's better to just be forward about it and deal with it because I seriously doubt your words will -ever- have any impact on a guy like that. I know because I have friends like that and have to tell them to cut it out as they won't listen to the women at all who they do it to. They aren't dating them, so it has no effect on them whatsoever.
Terra's name doesn't mean 'unknown'. Terra means 'earth' in Spanish and Latin. I'm not sure where you ever heard it means 'unknown'. I'm pretty sure that Terra's name is simply Terra and he probably has a last name. The only one in the game that appears to have an abbreviated name is Ven and we know his full name as well and is Ventus. All of their names, as others have said, correspond with the elements, just as Sora, Riku and Kairi's names do. Sora (sky) = Ventus (Wind) Riku (land) = Terra (earth) Kairi (sea) = Aqua (water).
358/2 Days and BBS (as well as Coded) are being made and yes, Nomura said that Sora was getting 'a break' which implied he wasn't going to be in the DS or PSP games. This is not to say that in KH3, Sora and his buddies won't be in that. It's clear at the end of KH2 that Sora, Riku and Kairi are going to go off on another adventure somewhere and Coded is supposed to lead in a direction towards KH3 with hints on the new boss/plot they may have to face. So Sora, Riku and Kairi will be seen again, just not until KH3, which is going to take a while to be released. There's now also been some shifts in Square for KH related things so I believe we may even get more than KH3, but KH3 is definitely going to happen. As for what transpires after, that's a mystery. Also, there's nothing absolutely confirming KH3, but we can safely bet it will occur unless something bad goes on. KH does very well on the game market.
I will say I didn't play KH till after a year after its debut because of the Disney factor. I was just like 'wtf' and I even razzed the game for a while because I could not imagine why Nomura would make such a 'sell out' game with Disney to ruin Final Fantasy characters. Yep, that was my opinion and it was shared by a lot of people in my age group. However, I bought FF X and saw KH on sale for 20 bucks, so I decided to go ahead and give it a try after some other friends had been talking about it for some time. To my surprise, I was bored to death with FF X and put in KH and was just blown away by how complex the storyline was and yet there was this cute element that made me chuckle at times. I had thought I had outgrown the Disney stuff, but it did bring back memories and well, I couldn't have asked for a better game that year. So, as people say, some gripe about a game they had never played and having sat on that side of the fence for a while, I do see why. However, I've also gotten quite a few of those people to do what I did and go pay the money for it and give it a whirl and no one ever came back to me complaining once. I do think though no one wants -more- Disney added because the game would then become too cheesy campy while the actual deep meaningful plot line would just disappear. So, I can see why no one is voting in that way. Somehow, as I've said elsewhere, Nomura is a genius and managed to do just the right blend of things and even if some worlds might irritate us a bit, all in all, he's done a miraculous job of what I had once thought to be rather impossible. Kudos to the man.
Sora has a Synch Blade ability when using the Drive Forms which enables him to have the dual wielding. It's caused by his fancy clothes and the fact he links up to another character for the Drive Form to be boosted. I think it's just meant to mostly be symbolic as in two people are required to make up the Form in friendship so he gets two Keyblades, or something around that. Roxas is the same way, really. He is 'synched' in with Sora who is tied in with Riku (Oblivion) and Kairi (Oathkeeper) and so he has two Keyblades. However, of course, he's not using Forms, of course.
I wish you'd put in the option for both, so I abstain from the poll vote itself. I enjoyed both of the story arcs and thought that KH2 nicely picked up from KH and CoM to move on progressively and yet introduce more troubles and plot. I enjoyed KH's plot a lot too which is what got me into the series in the first place so...it's just too darn difficult to choose. I think the only game I'd say was weaker was Sora's part of CoM. My friends and I sometimes go about saying that if you took out the word 'Memories" and replaced it with "Heart" you could have KH over again. At least Reverse Rebirth made up for that, and some parts in CoM Sora's side did. All in all though, I can't choose. Evil day.
It's Organization XIII ..you know Roman 1 is a letter I, right? Anywhoo, the reason is because they are the enemies you are forced to face and no one wants wussy bosses or that just gets boring!
