* BagOfSpilling: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Sora is a little out of practice after not training much in the year or so after ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', but he still has access to his plethora of Keyblades obtained from his travels and the ability to Formchange, and he's still leagues ahead of the fledgling Phantom Thieves in terms of strength.
* CursedWithAwesome: Due to still having a fragment of the χ-blade inside her, Kairi is constantly being pumped full of magic power which can [[AcheyScars overflow and cause her debilitating pain.]] However, if she learns to master and channel this effectively infinite wellspring of magic, Kairi may well become the most powerful magic user to ever live.

Some time after recovering from the events of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', Sora, Kairi and Riku are sent on a long-term undercover mission to [[VideoGame/Persona5 Shujin Academy]] with the other keybearers sent elsewhere in Japan, in search of the Master of Masters. Their mission quickly intersects with that of the Phantom Thieves.
!! This story provides examples of:
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance:
** Since Namine is attending Kosei High, Yusuke is introduced much earlier than in the game.
** Haru Okumura briefly appears on the roof when Jiminy is sneaking out of the school.
* AffectionateNickname: Sora has "Iri" for Kairi, who calls him "Pumpkin" in return.
* AllGirlsLikePonies: Xion, who joins the equestrian club at Yasogami High, though partly because she wants to become a knight.
* AmazinglyEmbarassingParents: Kairi's parents have moments like this.
-->'''Kairi''': Mom, Dad, this is Makoto Niijima, our student council president. She came by today because there are rumours at school that me and Naminé are living together with Sora and Riku.\\
'''Mr. Ushida''': Aw shucks,” her dad sighed. “And here I thought you were calling to tell me I was going to be a grandpa…”\\
'''Kairi''': (''face goes from controlled confidence to scarlet hysteria in 0.2 seconds'' DAD! I'M SIXTEEN!
* AttentionDeficitOhShiny: A literal case when Jiminy Cricket is attacked by Morgana on the school roof and distracts him by using his Conscience badge to reflect a sunbeam onto the wall.
* BattleCouple: Sora and Kairi. [[spoiler:Akira and Ann are heading this way as well.]]
* CodeName: In addition the canon Phantom Thieves, Sora gets "Tempest", Kairi gets "Maelstrom", Riku gets "Guardian", Jiminy gets "Chronicle", and Namine gets "Trance".
* CrossoverShip: InUniverse, Namine talks about Ienzo having an obvious crush on [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]], who he's been helping design a magically enhanced BagOfHolding. Namine claims that Lara is too focused on tomb raiding to notice his feelings, and that she'd probably reciprocate them if she did.
* CurbStompBattle: Xigbar's fight with Sora in Kamoshida's palace.
* FishOutOfWater: All of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' characters, though especially those in Tokyo, who have never travelled anywhere as densely populated or confusing to navigate.
* FriendlyRivalry: Akira's Confidant with Sora starts with them forming this.
* HappilyAdopted: By the time the story opens, Namine has been adopted by Ansem the Wise, who has made amends for his horrible treatment of her when they were restoring Sora's memory.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: The other Keybearers are posted in different towns and only appear occasionally, though they're all technically on the same mission: namely, Roxas, Xion and Lea (and Isa) in [[VideoGame/Persona4 Inaba]] and Ventus, Terra and Aqua in [[VideoGame/Persona3 Tatsumi Port Island]].
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Kamoshida attempts to turn Sora and Riku into this by having Mishima spread rumours about their living situation with Kairi, who is also subjected to rumours of sleeping around behind Sora's back. It works at first, but between Makoto investigating them by spending the night at their apartment and Sora getting more positive attention with his attempt to save Shiho and his success with the Culinary Arts Club, the rumours die down quickly and are all but forgotten about after Kamoshida's change of heart.
* HowWeGotHere: The story opens on April 13th 2016, during the Shujin Volleyball Rally, which plays out very differently to canon when Sora steps up and absolutely humiliates Kamoshida without breaking a sweat. The next few chapters cut back two weeks to explain what he and Kairi are even doing there.
* ImStandingRightHere: Riku's reaction to Sora and Kairi talking about a time when he was an overprotective big brother to his sister Ichigo, not noticing that he was on the same (admittedly crowded) subway train four feet away from them.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: Just before Sora starts to catch Aqua up on the last few days, Aqua asks Terra to bring her the sake he bought a few days ago. "I think I’m going to need it to stay sane through all this."
* IfYouDoAnythingToHurtHer: Played with when Kairi's brother Haru makes this warning about Sora to Kairi herself, who points out that he has no chance of actually beating Sora. Haru replies that getting one punch to the face in would be WorthIt.
* ItCantBeHelped: As in the game, it's a DiscussedTrope, with Riku pointing out that, "If people continually tell themselves that an issue just can’t be helped, then they’re just enabling more suffering in the long term."
* JerkassHasAPoint: WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit is heavily critical of his brother's failures, such as not making sure Kairi's was properly trained with the Keyblade training and taking so long to rescue Aqua. And while he may go too far in blaming Mickey for Kairi's injury over Xehanort, Mickey can't disagree with him.
* KickTheDog: Not only does Xigbar cause Shiho to fall off the roof right when Sora had almost saved her, he outright tells Sora and the rest of the Phantom Thieves about this in their second confrontation.
* LethalChef: Riku, established when his disastrous attempt at cooking eggs, in a convection oven at 450 degrees celsius, after putting water in the pan rather than greasing it. He's stated to be pretty good at curry, though, even better than Sora.
* MinorLivingAlone: Sora, Kairi, Riku and Namine have been set up in an apartment paid for by Scrooge. While this isn't an uncommon trope in real-world Japan, the fact that Sora and Kairi are already in a relationship does attract gossip from their classmates.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Most of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' characters are given last names: Sora Hikari, Kairi and Namine Ushida, Riku Miyano
* NoodleIncident: The specifics of what happened to Sora after he disappeared in ''Kingdom Hearts III'' and how he was rescued are kept secret for a while.
* OneSteveLimit: Subverted with Kairi's brother Haru and senior student Haru Okumura.
* OutsideContextProblem: The Metaverse for Sora and friends, TheHeartless for the Phantom Thieves. Then again, Sora and Riku are probably more at home fighting (Metaverse) Shadows than trying to deal with human monsters like Kamoshida, who they can't simply beat up with a Keyblade.
* PrecisionFStrike: After Riku gives Sora permission to swear, he calls Kamoshida, "That ''son of a bitch!''" upon learning about him raping Shiho. He later calls Kamoshida's Shadow, "an angsty teenager with a permanent bitch-face playing dress-up".
* ScarsAreForever: Kairi has a scar on her back and shoulder from when Xehanort killed her, which still causes agonising pain at times, thanks to a lingering remnant of the χ-blade pumping magic into her.
* SchoolNurse: Chapter 6 introduces Shujin's school nurse, one of the only staff members who wants to do something about Kamoshida's abusive training, but has been prevented by Principal Kobayakawa.
* SeenItAll: When Ryuji notes Sora's complete lack of surprise about Morgana, a talking cat ("I'm not a cat!"), Sora replies, "We summon key-shaped swords out of thin air to fight and to create fire, lightning, and a lot more from absolutely nothing. Not to mention that we’re standing in a room that’s apparently part of a medieval castle and our high school. A walking, talking kitty cat is a little tame all things considered." Kairi goes on to bring up that they're friends with a talking cricket, before introducing Jiminy.
* SeparatedByACommonLangauge: At one point Sora gets confused between Metaverse Shadows and Heartless Shadows.
* ShipperOnDeck: Riku says that Sora and Kairi's respective parents had been shipping since the fifth grade. Kairi's parents claim otherwise: they were shipping them since Sora was ''five''.
* SickeninglySweethearts: Sora and Kairi, to the occasional annoyance of their housemates. Riku in particular gets exasperated when they seem to be letting it get in the way of being effective on the battlefield.
* StoryBreakerTeamUp: Sora, Kairi and Riku are all much stronger and more experienced than Akira or the other Persona users, which he admits is part of the reason he's reluctant to have them join them in Kamoshida's palace. The Keybearers agree to hold back and largely focus on the Heartless when they show up.
* SupremeChef: Sora has become this thanks to his experiences at Le Grande Bistro ("The head chef was pretty controlling, but he taught me well."), allowing him to very quickly take over the Shujin Culinary Arts club without even trying.
* TalkingDownTheSuicidal: Sora manages to reach Shiho before she jumps, and actually succeeds in talking her down, only for Xigbar to shoot the ledge under her feet and cause her to fall anyway.
* TarotMotifs: When Akira starts to form a bond with Sora, the latter is stated to be part of the World Arcana
* ThereIsOnlyOneBed: Played with when the apartment turns out to have three bedrooms for four people. Sora and Kairi have absolutely no qualms about sharing a bed, though asking their respective parents for their approval to is a bit awkward.
* WhamEpisode:
** Chapter 7 has Shiho's suicide attempt -- which plays out slightly differently from canon when Sora almost succeeds in talking her down only for a sniper to shoot the ledge she was standing on -- and ends on Sora, Riku and Kairi following Akira and Ryuji into the Metaverse, using a portal created by their Keyblades.
** Chapter 11 has Xigbar confronting Sora in Kamoshida's palace, with Xehanort's Keyblade. Later, Cait Sith and Red XIII show up in Tokyo.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: Between Riku and Namine. EveryoneCanSeeIt, but both of them CannotSpitItOut.
Some time after recovering from the events of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', Sora, Kairi and Riku are sent on a long-term undercover mission to [[VideoGame/Persona5 Shujin Academy]] with the other keybearers sent elsewhere in Japan, in search of the Master of Masters.

* AffectionateNickname: Sora has "Iri" for Kairi, who calls him "Pumpkin" in return.
* AllGirlsLikePonies: Xion, who joins the equestrian club at Yasogami High, though partly because she wants to become a knight.
* AmazinglyEmbarassingParents: Kairi's parents have moments like this.
-->'''Kairi''': Mom, Dad, this is Makoto Niijima, our student council president. She came by today because there are rumours at school that me and Naminé are living together with Sora and Riku.\\
'''Mr. Ushida''': Aw shucks,” her dad sighed. “And here I thought you were calling to tell me I was going to be a grandpa…”\\
'''Kairi''': (''face goes from controlled confidence to scarlet hysteria in 0.2 seconds'' DAD! I'M SIXTEEN!
* AttentionDeficitOhShiny: A literal case when Jiminy Cricket is attacked by Morgana on the school roof and distracts him by using his Conscience badge to reflect a sunbeam onto the wall.
* BattleCouple: Sora and Kairi. [[spoiler:Akira and Ann are heading this way as well.]]
* CodeName: In addition the canon Phantom Thieves, Sora gets "Tempest", Kairi gets "Maelstrom", Riku gets "Guardian", Jiminy gets "Chronicle", and Namine gets "Trance".
* CrossoverShip: InUniverse, Namine talks about Ienzo having an obvious crush on [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]], who he's been helping design a magically enhanced BagOfHolding. Namine claims that Lara is too focused on tomb raiding to notice his feelings, and that she'd probably reciprocate them if she did.
* CurbStompBattle: Xigbar's fight with Sora in Kamoshida's palace.
* FishOutOfWater: All of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' characters, though especially those in Tokyo, who have never travelled anywhere as densely populated or confusing to navigate.
* FriendlyRivalry: Akira's Confidant with Sora starts with them forming this.
* HappilyAdopted: By the time the story opens, Namine has been adopted by Ansem the Wise, who has made amends for his horrible treatment of her when they were restoring Sora's memory.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: The other Keybearers are posted in different towns and only appear occasionally, though they're all technically on the same mission: namely, Roxas, Xion and Lea (and Isa) in [[VideoGame/Persona4 Inaba]] and Ventus, Terra and Aqua in [[VideoGame/Persona3 Tatsumi Port Island]].
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Kamoshida attempts to turn Sora and Riku into this by having Mishima spread rumours about their living situation with Kairi, who is also subjected to rumours of sleeping around behind Sora's back. It works at first, but between Makoto investigating them by spending the night at their apartment and Sora getting more positive attention with his attempt to save Shiho and his success with the Culinary Arts Club, the rumours die down quickly and are all but forgotten about after Kamoshida's change of heart.
* HowWeGotHere: The story opens on April 13th 2016, during the Shujin Volleyball Rally, which plays out very differently to canon when Sora steps up and absolutely humiliates Kamoshida without breaking a sweat. The next few chapters cut back two weeks to explain what he and Kairi are even doing there.
* ImStandingRightHere: Riku's reaction to Sora and Kairi talking about a time when he was an overprotective big brother to his sister Ichigo, not noticing that he was on the same (admittedly crowded) subway train four feet away from them.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: Just before Sora starts to catch Aqua up on the last few days, Aqua asks Terra to bring her the sake he bought a few days ago. "I think I’m going to need it to stay sane through all this."
* IfYouDoAnythingToHurtHer: Played with when Kairi's brother Haru makes this warning about Sora to Kairi herself, who points out that he has no chance of actually beating Sora. Haru replies that getting one punch to the face in would be WorthIt.
* ItCantBeHelped: As in the game, it's a DiscussedTrope, with Riku pointing out that, "If people continually tell themselves that an issue just can’t be helped, then they’re just enabling more suffering in the long term."
* JerkassHasAPoint: WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit is heavily critical of his brother's failures, such as not making sure Kairi's was properly trained with the Keyblade training and taking so long to rescue Aqua. And while he may go too far in blaming Mickey for Kairi's injury over Xehanort, Mickey can't disagree with him.
* KickTheDog: Not only does Xigbar cause Shiho to fall off the roof right when Sora had almost saved her, he outright tells Sora and the rest of the Phantom Thieves about this in their second confrontation.
* LethalChef: Riku, established when his disastrous attempt at cooking eggs, in a convection oven at 450 degrees celsius, after putting water in the pan rather than greasing it. He's stated to be pretty good at curry, though, even better than Sora.
* MinorLivingAlone: Sora, Kairi, Riku and Namine have been set up in an apartment paid for by Scrooge. While this isn't an uncommon trope in real-world Japan, the fact that Sora and Kairi are already in a relationship does attract gossip from their classmates.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Most of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' characters are given last names: Sora Hikari, Kairi and Namine Ushida, Riku Miyano
* NoodleIncident: The specifics of what happened to Sora after he disappeared in ''Kingdom Hearts III'' and how he was rescued are kept secret for a while.
* OneSteveLimit: Subverted with Kairi's brother Haru and senior student Haru Okumura.
* OutsideContextProblem: The Metaverse for Sora and friends, TheHeartless for the Phantom Thieves. Then again, Sora and Riku are probably more at home fighting (Metaverse) Shadows than trying to deal with human monsters like Kamoshida, who they can't simply beat up with a Keyblade.
* PrecisionFStrike: After Riku gives Sora permission to swear, he calls Kamoshida, "That ''son of a bitch!''" upon learning about him raping Shiho. He later calls Kamoshida's Shadow, "an angsty teenager with a permanent bitch-face playing dress-up".
* ScarsAreForever: Kairi has a scar on her back and shoulder from when Xehanort killed her, which still causes agonising pain at times, thanks to a lingering remnant of the χ-blade pumping magic into her.
* SchoolNurse: Chapter 6 introduces Shujin's school nurse, one of the only staff members who wants to do something about Kamoshida's abusive training, but has been prevented by Principal Kobayakawa.
* SeenItAll: When Ryuji notes Sora's complete lack of surprise about Morgana, a talking cat ("I'm not a cat!"), Sora replies, "We summon key-shaped swords out of thin air to fight and to create fire, lightning, and a lot more from absolutely nothing. Not to mention that we’re standing in a room that’s apparently part of a medieval castle and our high school. A walking, talking kitty cat is a little tame all things considered." Kairi goes on to bring up that they're friends with a talking cricket, before introducing Jiminy.
* SeparatedByACommonLangauge: At one point Sora gets confused between Metaverse Shadows and Heartless Shadows.
* ShipperOnDeck: Riku says that Sora and Kairi's respective parents had been shipping since the fifth grade. Kairi's parents claim otherwise: they were shipping them since Sora was ''five''.
* SickeninglySweethearts: Sora and Kairi, to the occasional annoyance of their housemates. Riku in particular gets exasperated when they seem to be letting it get in the way of being effective on the battlefield.
* StoryBreakerTeamUp: Sora, Kairi and Riku are all much stronger and more experienced than Akira or the other Persona users, which he admits is part of the reason he's reluctant to have them join them in Kamoshida's palace. The Keybearers agree to hold back and largely focus on the Heartless when they show up.
* SupremeChef: Sora has become this thanks to his experiences at Le Grande Bistro ("The head chef was pretty controlling, but he taught me well."), allowing him to very quickly take over the Shujin Culinary Arts club without even trying.
* TalkingDownTheSuicidal: Sora manages to reach Shiho before she jumps, and actually succeeds in talking her down, only for Xigbar to shoot the ledge under her feet and cause her to fall anyway.
* TarotMotifs: When Akira starts to form a bond with Sora, the latter is stated to be part of the World Arcana
* ThereIsOnlyOneBed: Played with when the apartment turns out to have three bedrooms for four people. Sora and Kairi have absolutely no qualms about sharing a bed, though asking their respective parents for their approval to is a bit awkward.
* WhamEpisode:
** Chapter 7 has Shiho's suicide attempt -- which plays out slightly differently from canon when Sora almost succeeds in talking her down only for a sniper to shoot the ledge she was standing on -- and ends on Sora, Riku and Kairi following Akira and Ryuji into the Metaverse, using a portal created by their Keyblades.
** Chapter 11 has Xigbar confronting Sora in Kamoshida's palace, with Xehanort's Keyblade. Later, Cait Sith and Red XIII show up in Tokyo.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: Between Riku and Namine. EveryoneCanSeeIt, but both of them CannotSpitItOut.
