Kingdom Hearts 3: 10 Major Hints For The Future Of The Franchise
7. The Power Of Waking Explained
Sora's journey begins and ends because of the 'Power of Waking', which should tell you how important it is. Despite that, the rules still aren't very clear.
The power of waking is what Yen Sid sends Sora out to get at the start of his journey in order to save Ventus and Aqua. Sora previously had it in Dream Drop Distance but it's still not really clear how it actually works.
The intention of the ability is that it allows people to rescue hearts from being lost, but it can also be used to traverse worlds. The Gummiphone also claims that Mickey also knows the ability, so why is it just Sora using it in the game?
Apparently, the power of waking can also end up having devastating consequences as we end up seeing happen to Sora. The secret ending reveals that Sora is still alive so what exactly does the power do if used wrong?
For something so important, there shouldn't be as many questions surrounding how it actually works, and that should be fixed in the future.
