Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep

Scenes of the ending of Kingdom Hearts 1 flash by on the screen, and two phrases are seen clearly onscreen. One reads “Deep Past” and the other “Shut-Eyes gives birth to the concealed fate.”

We are then confronted by a young boy who looks like Roxas conversing with another young boy with black hair. Their surroundings seem to resemble Hallow Bastion (Radiant Garden). The name “Ven” is thrown outward, referring to the boy who looks like Roxas.

The scene change various times before stopping at an image of the Old Man from the Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+ Secret Ending. He is called “Master Xehanort” by Terra. Soon after, Terra summons his keyblade and the screen changes.

Various worlds are shown, and one of which is familiar to us all. “Olympus Coliseum” is making another comeback, followed by a brand new world, that of which resembles Sleeping Beauty.

The video then changes back to Terra battling against a dark figure, whom you can tell is male. This is the same man from the Secret Ending of Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+ that the Old Man creates. Terra is able to forcably get the man’s helmet off, but his face is concealed.

King Mickey is shown summoning his keyblade, and then the scene changes very quickly to Terra on a beach. He seems to be watching two boys play in the ocean. After he rests his weapon into the ground, the two boys he was watching are clearer and they look like Sora and Riku. Soon after, Terra says “Please don’t depend on me, just erase me… friend.” The phrase “Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep” arises, and it is revealed this game is for the PSP.

Note: It has been rumored the DS game is being co-developed by Hand (Chocobo Tales) and the PSP game is being developed by the Crisis Core team. This is not a confirmation, just speculation.

The beginning scene is from the ending of Kingdom Hearts to its opening. Words appear: “Sleep gives birth to the concealed fate in the far past.” The boy with different clothes, and has the same face as Roxas, is talking to the person known as Terra who has dark hair. The boy who looks like Roxas is called “Ven” by Terra. ????: “Are you the one who, at one time, saved me?” ????: “Ah, promise.” Terra is shown to continuously face the Elderly Man who appeared in the Secret Movie of Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ in the wilderness. (The voice and appearance of Xehanort is quite different from his appearance in KH although. The Elderly Man is called “Xehanort” by Terra.) Terra calls out the keyblade in his right hand. (The effect is the same as the man in mysterious armour who “stays put thoughtfully” that appeared in Final Mix+.) Though Terra is hostile towards the elderly person, Xehanort, the words spoken were used before in defense of Roxas. Xehanort meets Ven in the Olympus Coliseum. (Additionally, the forest from Sleeping Beauty’s world is shown!) Ven: “Who? I don’t know you.” Elderly Man: “Only soon, will you know, and you are asleep.” Elderly Man: “The one that was lost was to lose, and the one to be obtained was obtained.” Elderly Man: “You must grab and take it now.” The Elderly Man waves his hand in a movement as if to summon magic. Ven watches with an expression that becomes confused with fear. Afterwards, the world of the wilderness appears again. The person wearing a black helmet and black clothes (shown in the Final Mix+ Secret Movie) encounters Ven. The person of mystery blows off Ven. The King summons and uses the Keyblade to momentarily protect a fallen Ven. (Is the King wearing clothing that hasn’t been seen so far?) The scene has changed completely to the wilderness, and this time, the Elderly Man starts to appeal for something. Elderly Man: “Please, I ask of you to correct my mistake!” (The man says more, but the blog user can’t remember what.) Terra is watching the coast of Destiny Islands. There are two boys who are playing using wooden swords as Terra watches from a grove. (Sora and Riku?) Ven is watching from a similar coast. This place isn’t Destiny Islands, but Twilight Town. Ven: “Because he’s my friend, please erase me.”
