Kairi. [spoliers] ?

[teaandmachines]

I played Kingdom Hearts 1 and I thought I understood it. What's this about a meteor shower?

[Tavrobel]

The Meteor Shower is the Gummi Barriers breaking down and shattering because of the Heartless.

This is the simplest explanation. During this event, Kairi was sent to Destiny Islands while young, so that the Heartless would not kill/convert her into a Heartless. How (by Gummi Ship, most likely) and why is largely unexplained, and up for conjecture.

(SPOILER)However Ansem the Wise never refers to Kairi in a familiaral sense, only that he knew her, unless he already knew that Ansem DarkSeeker wanted Kairi to accomplish his goals, in which case, it would make sense.

Mickey and Ansem the Wise obviously knew alot more than they let on.

The barriers between the worlds are made of gummi's?

[Tavrobel]

No, the Gummi Ships are made of the barriers. Barriers were always there, until Ansem DarkSeeker broke them with his experiments/creation of the Heartless. When the barriers were broken, they fell down on the worlds in the form of a gel/goo type substance, henceforth known as gummies.

Imagine Earth, except surrounded by an impermeable shield made up of gummi worms and gummi bears. Then when it is broken, it rains marvelously down on the world. And when you have bigger pieces and put them together, you can assemble a gummi ship.

How did I miss all of this in the first Kingdom Hearts?
Gah..

Is there a website or something I can go to? Ha..

Gah..

Because it was at the beginning, in Traverse Town, when gummies are explained. Too far in to view the scene unless you were playing the game through another time. And too early from the end to be able to remember it clearly when (SPOILER)Ansem is revealed to have made the Heartless, and ordered them to destroy the barriers and to consume the Worlds, and when the Meteor Shower that brought Kairi to Destiny Islands is the explaned in detail as the origin.

[ehsteve]

A lot of the details are explained in Ansem's reports, as well. I would recommend that, at the end of your game, you read all of the reports in numerical order - it really clears things up.

Wait... (SPOILER) Remember at the end of KHII where Sora and Riku fell into the coast of the Destiny Islands like meteors? (This being after going through the door to the light...) Don't you think this occurred with Kairi as well? It makes sense, seeing as how they returned in that manner like a meteor shower...

What do you think?
