Wow, I missed a lot when asleep. I guess I have to condense my thoughts and keep it short.
First:
We finally got a name!
I’m so happy we finally know the name of this world. The only sad thing is, now there’s less of a chance to ever see Neku and Joshua again.
Then again, “Shibuya” isn’t exactly a city so much as is it a ward/district irl, plus there’s that billboard in the Verum Rex ad. Plus, Shibuya could just be a local name, like how the Emperor referred to TLoD as “China” and how Jane had a map of “Africa” while exclaiming that Sora could speak “English” (though this might be the case only on the Int. dub).
I don’t know. I’m still holding out hope that Sora and Neku would meet again someday.
That aside, I love how the name translates to “Square”!
Second:
That was actually kind of expected. Revealing the face of the person it was thought to be this early in Phase 2 wouldn’t make sense both on a marketing and developmental standpoint. Plus, baiting is a common tactic in any media that is a series.
Third:
Kairi being squishy as hell
Meh…I don’t care anymore.
Fourth:
I don’t think either word would be appropriate to speak of that place or time.
If it was data from which the trapped dandelions failed to get out of, what makes it different from the data worlds of the main worldline?
If it was dreams from which those who were trapped in it wouldn’t wake up from, what makes it different from the Realm of Sleep of the main worldline?
As of right now, all we know is that the Light and Darkness as the main worldline understands it doesn’t apply to that place.
Finally:
Nameless Star
So her form was taken from her, rather than just disappear. It seems there’s something going on over there and something or someone is making waves by body snatch. Could it be the same way MX stole Terra’s body, or could it be something else?
