Hey guys, playing Kingdom Hearts 1.5 and 2.5. After watching Re:coded and playing into 2 Final Mix I saw a scene that made me raise an eyebrow and wonder about this idea.
Now hear me out.
For those of you who may need a refresher, in Kingdom Hearts 1 there was a book that, within its pages, was a world featuring the cuddly cast of Winnie the Pooh. In the first game it was a side task to acquire all of the Torn Pages that had been scattered across all the worlds.
In Kingdom Hearts 2, the book has been moved to Radiant Garden along with Merlin, who seems to want to keep a particularly close eye on the book. But due to a hasty mistake by Sora the book is torn again by Heartless and you have to get the pages back once more. Yes, it was just a convenient way to have another fetch quest world. But I think there are hints at more to it.
Merlin mentions that the book is "One of the world's most treasured objects". I think this statement might actually play into the plot of Kingdom Hearts 3. How you might ask?
Well, in Re:coded HD, there's a scene in which, as Maleficent and Pete are making their way out of the datascape, she suddenly remembers an old tale about a special book. Apparently, a world inside a book wasn't just a thing that the Journal was now. There was once a Book of Prophecy that could conjure a world/worlds and be used to bring about events.
Interestingly enough, I believe that the innocent Poohbear Book might actually be the Book of Prophecy. And that it has untapped powers. Why else would Merlin have such a close eye on it? Or the Heartless be so bent on taking it apart (so it doesn't work?)?
It may be possible that Maleficent will discover this strange set of apparent similarities between the Book of Prophecy and the Pooh Book, and go to Radiant Garden in an attempt to steal it. So, the Pooh Book would not only make a third comeback without having to retrieve torn pages again, but also be crucial to the plot of the game! Or at least Maleficent's plot.
What do you guys think? I know it kinda sounds absurd xD it's really late for me and maybe my tired mind has me jumping at conclusions. But since Disney seems to be much more important in KH3 again and so many other things are already going to happen, it'd make sense if the Book of Prophecy was something we had already seen before instead of just being a random new plot element.
Now hear me out.
