10 Most Inappropriate Moments In Kingdom Hearts

10. Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance- The Appearance Of Young Xehanort

Dream Drop Distance begins with Sora and Riku taking their Mark of Mastery exam to officially become Keyblade Masters. To complete this exam, the pair independently travel through various dreamscape versions of past worlds they have visited, as well as new ones.

However, it soon becomes apparent that something (or someone) is interfering with the exam. As the player progresses through the game, a mysterious hooded figure continually appears and taunts Sora and Riku. When the hood is finally lowered however, the figure is revealed as being a character the player technically does and yet does not know.

Xehanort has somehow utilised time travel. It is a version of his younger self which follows Sora and Riku across the various worlds. This sudden appearance of a young Xehanort is eventually revealed to link into (older) Xehanort’s plan to collect and mobilise the thirteen darknesses by recruiting multiple versions of himself.

Whilst, time travel can be an effective plot device when used effectively, here it happens so suddenly and very little explanation is given. Therefore, the appearance of Young Xehanort makes little sense to either the characters in-game or the player.
