Fixing a sinkhole


While the first installment follows a [[TheStationsOfTheCanon similar story structure]] to the original ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI'', subsequent entries diverge completely from canon, borrowing elements from the other games when appropriate. As revelations in newer games directly contradict established plans in the long-running series (notably [[TheSoulless Xemnas's]] [[TragicVillain characterization]]), ''Antipode'' is not canon compliant with ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'' onward.

** A {{justified}} example due to the [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve nature]] of the character: [[spoiler:Hades kills Tinker Bell with the simple phrase "I don't believe in you", causing the poor fairy to drop dead in Sora's hands. After Hades and the Titans are defeated, the heroes revive Tinker Bell by simply believing in her.]]

* ForWantOfANail: [[TheChosenOne Riku]] obtains the Keyblade on Destiny Islands before he can give in to darkness. Thus, he ends up in Traverse Town and spends the story exploring different worlds with Donald and Goofy while Sora ends up being manipulated by Maleficent. By the time ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'' would take place, the Door to Darkness is still open, Sora is trapped in the form of a Heartless with only Ventus for company, Kairi and Riku Replica/[[spoiler:Xiruk]] are Keyblade Wielders and Aqua is out of the Realm of Darkness.



*** The ending. Riku chooses not to close the Door to Darkness, instead leaving it open in favour of searching for Sora. [[ForWantOfANail This is the point when the story diverges completely from canon]].

* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/1944492/chapters/96884385 Side Stories: Another Night On Grandship]]'', [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston]] insults [[Series/TheMuppetShow Miss Piggy]], who responds by punching him through a table. This is referenced in ''Act 3: All That's Left'' where a table with a distinctly man-shaped dent is shown in the tavern. A man-shaped dent that was, in Gaston's pailkiller-addled words, "roughly the size of a barge."

** [[Franchise/TheIncredibles Syndrome]] somehow manages to be even worse in this continuity, [[ForcedToWatch forcing Mr. Incredible to watch as his family is seemingly killed in a missile strike]], then replaying the footage ''four times'' just to break his spirit further.
