Another point, DiZ literally had Namine in his Hands. If he really wanted to dispose of her, why give her to Riku? She is literally right there. Almost like he expected Riku to let her go.
It is implied that DiZ doesn't think the Nobodies should exist because they are generated by Darkness. And Darkness was in his Apprentices and cause them to Betray him and throw him into the Realm of Darkness (Realm of Corrupting Spirits and Negative Emotion). And then, His Apprentices became Nobodies. In other Words, DiZ thinks Nobodies are like his Apprentices or the Ancient Darkness. (Shapeshifting, Life Stealers) And Distrusts because he expects Betrayal. (Darkness can hide inside Anyone, even people). Ansem the Wise took in Ienzo an orphan, and Xehanort because he thought they were safe. But they weren't. Therefore, DiZ distrusts everybody. But he doesn't really want to. But if Little Ienzo can turn to Darkness, how could you be sure?
I don't like that you're promoting the "HD Movie" version of KH 358/2 Days over the actual game... Anyone who wants the full story for Days should try to find a working DS copy of the game, or at least a playable ROM for it. There's so much content the "HD Movie" guts from the story, and no amount of polish can make up for the fact that over %60 of the story was in gameplay dialogue and pseudo-scenes with textboxes. Content that, at best, was glossed over so vaguely that no one who didn't play the OG game would ever guess there was MASSIVELY IMPORTANT LORE AND CONVERSATIONS just MISSING, and at worst, whole chunks of the story were straight-up left untold... That aside, the character analysis is beautifully done. We really DON'T get a lot of info regarding Namine, but what we do get has such drastic implications and effects on both the characters she interacts with, and the lore as a whole. There's definitely more Nomura plans to do with her, and i hope we get to see it in future content. The possibilities are nearly limitless with what they cold do if they used Namine in a future narrative, and that is potential that should be capitalized on
1:20 I really love this detail because half of the time, when peoole talk about Kingdom Hearts being confusing or convoluted, the truth of the matter is that in universe characters are frequently wrong about the mechanics of the world. I find it refresing compared to so many generic fantasy stories that just lore dump their rules on you in the first 20 hours.
Alright, time to turn this video into swiss cheese: 1. DiZ didn't coin the term Nobody. (source: KH2 Secret Report 7) 2. He also didn't see Nobodies as anomalies, just Namine and Roxas. (source: KH2 Secret Reports 9 and 12) 3. You underplayed his banishment and what it took for him to escape. (source: several KH2 Secret Reports) 4. HD Movies? Get out of here with that crap. (fucking Osaka Agenda...) 5. Xion could very well be trans, yes, but KH is a franchise notorious for it's enforced friendzones so you're wasting your time.
Great Job With This Video!
I really hope Namine plays a bigger role in kingdom hearts 4 I hope either she or Chirithy helps Ven recover his missing memories from union x
Shion being trans makes so much sense
Naminé is Ultimecia all along.

This post has been fact checked by the Hokkaido Agenda.
(for real though, thank you I'm glad to see people other than me calling this out)
