Backwards keyblade?

[robertexe]

YouTube - Kingdom Hearts: 3D Demo [Nintendo 3DS]

At about 0:12, the picture of Sora and Twilight Thorn, you can see Sora is holding his keyblade the wrong way, with the teeth pointing down instead of up.

Any thoughts?

 

[Luap]

Doesn't he always hold it like that?

EDIT:

nevermind

 

[HeartSeams]

He always holds it like that. They never attack with the teeth in KH.

 

[Silverslide]

So what? Is it supposed to have a "deeper meaning"? It's just the way he holds the keyblade...

You,sir,are very wrong. Sora NEVER holds it like that.

 

[Allister Rose]

well it probably has no meaning. or maybe it's a form of differentiating him from the real sora (if this one is fake).

 

[HeartSeams]

I'm a girl, thanks. And what's the big deal? He's just gripping it differently, he's still hitting them the same holding it like that.

This makes the most sense.

Though right now it's just a demo of what the 3DS can do, not a demo of actual gameplay, so it could have absolutely no meaning. Though it is odd.

You've got a point there, its just a demo, its not such a big deal, they are still working on this game, they only made something quick to show at E3, maybe later on we'll see some more of the game and see that sora is holding the keyblade the right way.

I could've sworn Sora held his Blade like that in KH1/Re:CoM, but I could be wrong. *Looks up KHRe:CoM vid* Never mind, he holds his blade facing up. Oh well, it's not like he will be like Ven, hitting with the actual blade part. They switched Ven's around before BBS's release, they're most likely going to do the same here.

OH poo, HE IS HOLDING IT DIFFERENTLY!!!!!

KH:REVERSE, WOW MAN YOU JUST SPOTTED THE NEXT KH!!!!!

IT WILL EXPLAIN WHY HE HOLDS IT LIKE THAT KHGASM!@#!$!~1[/sarcasm]

Are you SURE you are sarcastic? It sure doesn't look like it >_>
It is fun to point out the not-so-obvious, don't hate about it.

I doubt it has any real significance.

maybe sora is getting some of ventu's abilities.

If memory serves right, Sora used to the keyblade like that. Perhaps...

Spoiler Show

Maybe holding the keyblade like that was due to Ven's heart influence. But after stabbing himself and loosing Ven's heart, he wields the keyblade like we see in KH2.

No, I think you've misunderstood. It's not like he's holding it in a reverse grip like Ven is. It's that if you look at the pictures luap posted, the blunt side is usually the lower side, yet in the 3D screenshot, the teeth are facing downwards.

Edit: Here's what I'm talking about:

Normal wielding:

3D wielding:

That pic just inspired me to type this:

Perhaps Xion is influencing Sora?

 

[Allister Rose]

well that pic shows xion in the form of ven. so i don't think it's xion influence. if anything, xion was influenced by sora

Well, seems like I'm going back to my opinion...

Spoiler Show

Ventus is influencing Sora. :x

possibly, but then he should have wielded with the teeth down in the first place. i don't think it has too much significance
