I mean is it King Mickey for making a major appearance in every game, Roxas for having some importance, but has his own game and for being a false protagionist once, or is it someone else entirely. Since Riku serves as the deuteragionist.
Who is the Tritagionist of this Series?

You know the third main character? Where you have the protagionist , deuteragionist, and tritagionist? Ex: DBZ has P, Goku , D: Gohan , and T: VegetaOriginally Posted by Del Murder
I would have thought Sora, Donald and Goofy are the three...
I've learned new words! Hooray!
Um... I can't really say. Sora's obviously the protagonist. The deuteragonist could be either Kairi or Riku or Mickey. I'd lean towards Mickey myself because he's always been good, while Riku's more of an anti-hero. Finally, the tritagonist is probably Kairi.
Of course, Goofy and Donald are very important, but for the overarching story of the entire series, that's who'd I go for.

Both!

First, in protagonist the meaning of the prefix "pro-" is primary. It implies nothing about the character's nature except that they are the most important character to the narrative. The protagonist of a story can be the villain in moral terms (an antihero). Similarly, antagonist only implies that the character(s) who fulfills such a role is in opposition to the protagonist.
Second, Riku is not an antihero. He is temporarily allied with an antagonist, but he is being manipulated. Riku's storyline follows the prototypical hero's journey more closely than Sora's as he experiences the essential phases of revelation and atonement in a way that Sora does not (finding out that he has been manipulated and then turning to help Sora). He is the best candidate for deuteragonist, if there is one.
As for the OP's question, the idea of a trinity of protagonist, deuteragonist, and tritagonist is irrelevant in the discussion of an ensemble cast. There is a reason that the terms deuteragonist and tritagonist are very uncommon outside of discussion of classical Greek theater (in which the roles were played by three actors who were assigned the roles of protagonist, deuteragonist, and tritagonist). Kingdom Hearts has a far too vast and varied cast of narratively crucial characters to try and shoehorn them into these three roles.
Personally, I'd say the antagonist is Maleficent for being there most of the time to bug the heroes. Then I'd say Xehanort is the dueteragonist/secondary antagonist for being the next most important character to the series. That would leave Riku as the tritagonist being the third most important character to the series.
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.

Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
Wait, wait, wait.
Xenanort is the secondary antagonist in a series that the creator of which refers to as the Xehanort Saga?
Maleficient is definitely a secondary antagonist. She's always pops up, but is merely a front, masking the true overarching antagonist. Once she is dealt with, normally the true enemy comes into view. Hell, in KHII she evens teams up with Sora to defeat Organisation XIII, granted only because they are the greater of two evils, but still.
This is one of the silliest discussions on Kingdom Hearts I have ever seen.
I think we ran out of "serious discussions" long ago.
