So I only just read the Director's Secret report (your posts made me realize it exists)...

I still say that the KH of World and KH of Men are two separate things. The evidence is in 358/2, since the KH outside TWTNW only appears after Roxas starts collecting hearts for Org. XIII. Were the hearts of men simply added to KH of Worlds, then KH would have always been visible from the Grey Room, but it wasn't.

Also, KH is definitely a place, since that is where the final battle in KHII occurs. Xenmas takes control of the power of KH, that's how he "became one" and had power over it. I don't think it is inside him, the power yes not the physical KH. You might not want to call it a "world" but it is a place. Just because KH, whichever one you want, is the "Proof of Life" doesn't prevent it from being a place as well. As the final battle of KHII clearly indicates.

DTD and Dark Corridors are two different things. DTD is made by the hearts of the Princesses of Heart and leads one from the Realm of Light to the Realm of Darkness. Dark Corridors are summoned by beings with power over Darkness, like Nobodies, Riku and assuming King Mickey (since you know, he has the Keyblade of Darkness) and you travel through Darkness.

The last battle in KHI happens in the Realm of Darkness, somewhere. Just a random place in the Realm of Darkness.

As for the barriers Wolf is mentioning it is the barriers between the worlds, not the one between the realms. To travel between realms you either use DTD, Door to Light or Dark Corridors, at least that is the only way they have shown so far. Apparently Twilight Town is close enough to the Realm of Light that you can just Gummi it.
