!!Tropes Covered in the story
* ActionGirl: [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Aqua]], to lesser extent, [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Selphie]] too. Kairi is well on her way, while Namine claimed it’s not her style.
* ActionPrologue
* AntiClimax: The prologue end with TheStinger about Sora’s overwhelming worry about what could happen if he revealed what happened to his parents; [[OpenMindedParent turns out they don’t mind at all]].
* AntiHero: Heartless!Sora, [[SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes Type 2]], he’s very friendly most of the time, but he’s also somewhat [[DeadpanSnarker snarky, rude and rebellious]] at times.
* AscendedFanon: [[TheHero Sion]] from ‘’VideoGame/TheBouncer’’ is Sora’s Dad.
* BadassBookworm: Kairi decided to choose this route of progression.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality; Data!Sora has little to no qualms in sending Data!Xion into digital equivalent of cyrostasis after her creation, justified that her incompleteness made her vulnerable to dangerous bugs.
* CastFromHitPoints: Kairi’s [[MeaningfulName Sacrificial]] [[FantasticNuke Nova]], the second time she casted it, she’s forced into dream state because she almost exhausted [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower the light in her heart]].
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Sion’s [[ImprobableWeaponUser weapon]] is a very large steel bar, and to normal person, he’s practically TheJuggernaut.
* CompetenceZone: Discussed, [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking King]] [[TheEveryman Mickey]] is badass beyond badass, clearly stronger than the youngsters, but he knew very well he, Donald, and Goofy have little room to [[TookALevelInBadass develop]].
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: In universe, this is what caused Sora and Roxas’ fusion being incomplete.
* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: Yen Sid warned Sora about this in Chapter 3, Riku as well, [[DarkAndTroubledPast all things considering]]…
* DotingParent: The Mayor
** OverprotectiveDad: Downplayed, but still.
* DualWielding: Roxas, of course.
* EvilMakeover: Sort of, as Heartless, Sora has black hair, EyesOfGold, and [[SigilSpam Heartless emblem]].
* ExpositionFairy: Data!Sora
* FantasticNuke / SpiritBomb: Sacrificial Nova, it [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill wiped no less than 3000 heartless in one go]], it’s a justifiably [[CastFromHitPoints costly attack]].
** ChargedAttack: The first time she casted it, the ball is much smaller and she’s largely unaffected.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Xehanort stimulating Sora’s darkness to grow exponentially, cue UnstoppableRage toward Xehanort himself. Subverted that Xehanort thought [[ManipulativeBastard it’s not above his plan]]…
** As of chapter 3, Yen Sid and Sora clearly knew the subversion could always happen, [[JustifiedTrope it’s Xehanort after all]].
* GoodIsDumb: Subverted, Sora is increasingly clever and philosophical as Heartless, but he’s also even more [[LeeroyJenkins reckless]].
* GoodParents: Sora’s parent is [[OpenMindedParent extremely open-minded]] and [[AdultsAreUseless understood their limit]], but probably that’s what makes him a Hero. To a lesser extent, Kairi’s foster father too.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[MeaningfulName Sacrificial Nova]], nuff said.
* HormoneAddledTeenager: Discussed in the third chapter, Roxas is very much horrified realizing that his feelings for Namine (at the moment) are shallow and physical, because [[ItMakesSenseInContext Sora carried his feelings of love with him]]. [[WiseBeyondTheirYears Riku told him not to do that]].
--> Riku: “Don’t diss it, human nature”
* InnocentInnuendo: Only from an OldMaster to a young teenage girl, makes it all the funnier
--> Yen Sid: “The way you handled that spear is quite intriguing”
-->*[[CovertPervert Sora broke into laughter]]*
* LethalChef: Subverted by Aqua, her cooking is horribly feaky, but it tastes good.
--> Riku: ”Did that spaghetti just… wiggle?”
* MinoredInAsskicking: The parents, while nowhere as destiny-deciding powerful as their kids, apparently hold their own just fine against minor heartless attack.
** The [[Franchise/FinalFantasy other island trio]] as well.
* NWordPrevileges: Sora is this with his status as Heartless, [[WhatTheHellHero often called out for it]]. Roxas also do this once in the prologue, [[HypocriticalHumor only for him to call out Sora in chapter 3]].
* OCStandIn: Sora's parents and the Mayor, subverted with Riku's father.
* PrecisionFStrike: Roxas deliver a low one in the prologue, realizing the weight of the situation.
* PurpleProse: Subtly [[TakeThat mocked]] in the prologue, when referring to Kairi’s eyes as Orbs, there’s a TradeSnark following.
* SchizoTech: The current Jiminy’s Journal is magical electronic archive that can connect with everything electronics, Sora lampshaded it and complained why Gummi system cannot be integrated if they have the tech.
* SexierAlterEgo: Sora's mom think Roxas is even cuter than Sora himself.
* ShoutOut: The way Kairi cast [[WaveMotionGun Sacrificial Nova]] is most definitely invoking [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Starlight Breaker]].
* ShipTease: [[EveryoneCanSeeIt Sora and Riku]], [[BetaCouple Roxas and Namine]]… [[CrackPairing Riku and Aqua]][[FlatWhat ?]]
* SociallyAwkwardHero: Aqua, so very much. Riko too.
* SplitPersonalityTakeover: In an example where said SplitPersonality [[InvertedTrope didn’t expect it]], Sora literally evacuate his corrupted heart to become Heartless in the Prologue, letting Roxas to take over his vacant body.
** In the first chapter, Kairi’s heart went into dream state after her HeroicSacrifice, letting Namine to take over for roughly two days. This is not so much unexpected for Namine though, but Namine still pissed.
* TheStraightMan: Riku to Sora.
* SwordCane: The Mayor’s sword is a very thin blade hidden in [[PimpDuds a Pimp Cane]].
* {{Unperson}}: Progressively cancelled by Xion’s case as the cast tried their hardest to remember her.
* YearInsideHourOutside: The world of darkness as [[WordOfGod confirmed by Nomura]], Aqua felt that roughly one year or so spent in the place, while outside, 12 year has passed.
