The only time something like that ever happened was in the beginning of the game and when Ansem mentions it in the secret ending. Other than that, the game has nothing to do with it at all. Kingdom Hearts Zero would be a better title.

I think because in the end, it leads up to the secret ending. that and nomura wanted to add "BB" in it like "bulletin Board" just like he did with COM and coded.

That doesn't sound right really. I don't think a MAJOR theme of the game has to be the title. ie. 358/2 Days. Wasn't major, just a title cover.

it wasn't a major theme, but regardless it was one in the secret ending. still, i remember nomura trying to find an excuse to add in BB in there.

What does BB have to do with anything?
like i said, nomura has added internet terms into his titles (he admitted) like COM and coded, he wanted to add BB into it like Bulletin Board on a forum. So someone gave him the name "birth by sleep" and since he thought it was original by adding "by" into a title, he made it happen.

Doesn't explain Days though.

I'm sure that is part of the reason, but Birth By Sleep also relates to the "birth" of Sora's heart and the "rebirth" of Ven through slumber. And his eventual birth again when he is freed from the Chamber of Awakening

he only mentioned coded and COM, so i couldn't figure out days.

i doubt birth actually relates to sora's heart. it seems to relate to the secret ending too...ven's slumber yes. and yes the Chamber of Waking along with the Sleep made in kh2.

But Sora was a heart "born" into the Realm of Light, caused by the "death" of another heart somewhere out in the worlds.

Birth by Sleep means Birth by Death in a sense.

What do you mean by "caused by the death of another heart"?

i think you're making this up now

Not really. Just drawing from some things in Eastern religions and physics. Sleep is a connotation of Death. If you apply a common notion of Eastern religions that when the body dies, the soul is recycled and that one cannot be born without another's death. And there is the Law of the Conservation of Energy, y'know that all energy is recycled and remains constant " that energy can neither be created nor destroyed: it can only be transformed from one state to another."

Death does apply to KH though, not in the sense we know it though. And I'm definitely referring to death the way it is in KH.
sigh...but all of waht you said doesn't apply, because it's not confirmed. youre theorizing, yet you say it as if it's fact.

right here. not once did you say it was a theory, or you're thoughts, just that it's there.

But I never confirmed it as fact. If you see, at the end of my response I say "in a sense". And the idea of heart being born from another's death is a very common theory.

^pointless arguing.

It's called birth by sleep, because Nomura said so, the name sounds cool, thats what it is. End of story.
