~ Sora |
Sora is the main protagonist of the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
He is a teenager from Destiny Islands who accidently obtains the power of the Kingdom Key. Deriving his powers from his weapon, like all Keyblade wielders, most of the games follow his exploits across various Disney worlds as he does battle with the forces of evil, predominantly the Heartless.
He is voiced by Miyu Irino in Japanese (who is later known for voicing Koushi Sugawara from Haikyuu!!, Ritsu Kageyama from Mob Psycho 100, and Shōya Ishida from A Silent Voice, Haku in the original Japanese version of Spirited Away) and Haley Joel Osment in English. As a child, he is voiced by Takuto Yoshinaga in the Japanese version and by Luke Manriquez in the English version.
Powers and Abilities[]
Sora gains different abilities over the course of the games you can play as him. They can help you overcome different enemies. The explosion techniques allows you to hit multiple enemies at once. He can use his Keyblade in many different ways. As you complete more of the game, you obtain different Keyblades you can use to fight enemies with.

Sora was confirmed to be the final DLC fighter for "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" on October 5, 2021 and was released on October 18th, 2021. According to series director Masahiro Sakurai, Sora was the actual winner of the Smash Ballot that was shared with Bayonetta. By sheer coincidence, his name also shares the same name as Sakurai's video game company: Sora Limited. While he's considered to be the sole in-universe representative from Disney, all Disney references are omitted in the game with the sole exception of Mickey's symbol at the handle's edge of his Keyblade.

Trivia[]
- Interestingly, Sora was never meant to wield a Keyblade as while he had the heart of a Keyblade wielder within his own which allowed him to wield a Keyblade, he never had a keyblade intended to come to him. The one chosen was actually Riku, but since Riku gave in to the darkness in his heart to see other worlds, Sora ended up being its wielder instead. Terra chose Riku, but destiny chose Sora. They're both Chosen, but Destiny's Choice took precedence. Meanwhile, Aqua planned on choosing Sora, but decided against it after realizing that Terra had chosen Riku, unaware that she had already chosen Kairi by accident.
- Sora's name is Japanese for "sky" (空), as part of the name theme he shares with Riku and Kairi. Together, their names make up "Land, Sea, Sky".
- According to Santa Claus, when Sora was eight, he told everyone that he did not believe in Santa Claus. However, it was hinted that Riku told him not to believe.
- Sora's ability to Glide comes and goes due to losing his abilities over and over. Unfortunately, he never seems to unlock it until near the final world of each game.
- Neverland, Final form, the Keyblade Graveyard just to name the main games.
- The YouTube series Death Battle deduced and calculated the following:
- Sora is fast enough to dodge lightning (natural and magical), having defeated Thunderaffes which are stated to leave lightning "in the dust".
- This allowed him reaction speed to jam his Keyblade into Cerberus's third mouth when it attempted to bite him after holding back the other two, while allowing to jump up high enough whack the mutt unconscious.
- He, however, is not fast enough to dodge Xemnas's omni-directional Ethereal Blades attack, requiring Riku's help just to Reflect all the shots.
- The force of Sora's strongest strike is equal to 78 tons of TNT, using his slicing through seven buildings at the start of the final battle in Kingdom Hearts II as an example.
- A beam of light from his Keyblade is 1.28 times faster than the speed of light, given the speed he bounced a beam of light off a moon to seal HalloweenTown's keyhole.
- Sora is capable of teleporting, not just moving at incredible speeds.
- His endurance is ridiculously high, as he can take unrestrained punches from Hercules, Hades own flames (which are superior in magic due to him being a god), fought the Ice Titan by himself, held back two of Cerberus's heads, survived gummi ship crashes, only need to stop to catch his breath after slaying 1000 Heartless.
- Sora is fast enough to dodge lightning (natural and magical), having defeated Thunderaffes which are stated to leave lightning "in the dust".
- Sora's handshake with Mario at the end of the former's reveal trailer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate possibly represents Nintendo's relationship with Disney and how the latter's first 3D game, Super Mario 64, served as an inspiration for the Kingdom Hearts series as a whole.
