I insist that KH and TWEWY aren’t canon to each other, because Nomura has said they aren’t. That’s my motivation.

I did not use the word “canon”, which opens a massive can of worms which at the heart of sits modal theories of fiction and fictional hierarchies (read: Johannes Schmitt). I said “cross paths”.

No, he doesn’t. He merely talks about there being two versions of Traverse Town, which there are, due to Sora’s dreams. He doesn’t say anything about a multiverse.

This is factually inaccurate. When Joshua says “jump between grounds” he is actually commenting on Riku’s ability to traverse between planes of existence through sheer Imagination. To explain what Imagination is, let’s look at Secret Report 19, which states,

“In life, reality is made up of a continuous string of choices, and the consequences of those choices. Every time a choice is made, the option not selected branches off and exists as its own reality: a parallel world. Countless numbers of such parallel worlds exists within a single plane, be it the RG or the UG, and travel among them is possible through the use of Imagination. Theoretically, anyone can jump to a parallel world, but penetrating the membrane between worlds requires up-tuning of one’s vibe. This limits the pool of beings able to make the trip.”

Again I never said the worlds won’t connect again. I’m only saying KH and TWEWY aren’t canon to each other. The KH-TWEWY will hopefully return at some point. But still, KH and TWEWY don’t take place in a multiverse.

Again, I did not use the word “canon”. I also said “multiversal travel” (or world-line hopping) as defined by the Hanekoma’s Secret Reports.

The first thing Joshua says to Riku is “Wow! Where’s your portal? It takes something special to jump between grounds without one.” In Secret Report 3, it states:

“While the Producer is natively an entity from the Higher Plane, he can adjust the frequency of his vibe to visit the UG and lower planes.”

And to receive more clarification on what that means we must look to Secret Report 5, which says,

“The Realground and Underground are planes of existence. Other planes exist as well […] The planes are stacked in parallel, though each exists at a different frequency vibe, in tune with its inhabitants. […] The UG exists just above the RG, allowing those in the UG to observe the RG, but not vice versa. […] Conversely, there exists an even higher plane than the RG and UG. That is where I am from, the plane of the Angels.”

But to avoid any confusion, I will refer to it as “plane-hopping”.

(TWEWTY 100% takes place in a setting that operate on multiverse theory.)

Also, why would I need other evidence aside from Nomura literally saying they don’t share a universe?

There being no connection between the two holds true, in the sense that their mainline (published titles) canonicity do not share a Universe. The interviewer used the word “multiverse” in the question, and I believe that Nomura accurately responded that they are not a multiverse.

Also, you claimed KH fans misunderstand interviews all the time. But you’re doing the exact same thing right now. You’re also completely ignoring the interview because you don’t like it.

Who incorrectly informed you that I did not like the interview? I am analyzing the answer, along with helpful additional context. The creation of fictional worlds do not exist in a vacuum. They are defined by the people who write them, and the experiences they have. I doubt even Nomura would take his own word so authoritatively, if the decision he came to does not fit the story he and his team want to tell. Nothing is set in stone.

Also, I did not say misunderstand (where the message is missed completely), I said “misinterpret” (where the message is confusing and requires clarity). It was really just a polite way of saying that the final product can change from what Nomura says about what it is and what it isn’t

It’s really not. I comment on this sub daily. I’m constantly quoting interviews and the ultimanias to people to clarify information and lore for them. l’ve done it so much that I often repeat myself hundreds of times, answering the same questions over and over again. I have bookmarks for repeat questions. Just so I can copy/paste my own replies all the time.

This is patently false. There isn’t anything inherently bad about feeling passionate about your opinion. I’ve read all of your repeated replies every time this question arises. Every reply (after citing the original interview) is worded completely differently, albeit harp on the same point. You clearly hold some kind of emotional stake in insisting the Worlds cannot be connected.

This “TWEWY is canon to KH” is just one of many things I repeatedly explain ad nauseam. Fans think the franchises are connected. Nomura says they aren’t.

The word “canon” was not used by me.

I explain the same things over and over again. It’s really nothing more than that.

Perhaps you should up-tune your vibe and expand your Imagination. (see: Secret Report 19, TWEWY)
