My Only problem with Kingdom Hearts 3, the fridging of Kairi and Kairi’s wasted potential

I finished Kingdom Hearts 3 and I love it. Though the only issue I have is how they wasted Kairi. She has a Keyblade in 2 and proclaims she wants to fight to help Sora in BBS 2, Coded and DDD. She spent the majority of the game training on a island where time does not exist with Lea(also disappointed we could not see Lea’s new outfit that Yen Sid gave him, like it could’ve looked like this this or this) and despite this, she does not fight for herself at all. Terranort was about to attack her and she does not defend herself, Sora has to save her again despite being trained with a Keyblade. Nor does she defend herself against Xemnas. And she is essentially fridged to raise the stakes in the final battle. All that build up for nothing and in the end all that “this time I’ll protect you” was made pointless. What the fuck happened? What’s even worse is Sora and Riku don’t even care about Kairi all game until it actually happens. Riku went to the damn dark side for Kairi. He was willing to become one with darkness to save Kairi. Sora removed his own heart and became a damn Heartless for Kairi and went through absolute hell just to see her again. And not once do either of her best friends show any interest or care in Kairi all game. Whatever you ship is your business, but whatever side you are on, you know this is bullshit, both these boys would die and do anything for Kairi and not once do either of them seem to care at all for Kairi. That is complete bullshit. Sora and Riku both love Kairi and the fact that they don’t care is as bad as her wasted potential

The only thing I think they did right with Kairi, was the light in the darkness scene.

Instead of pointlessly fridging Kairi and killing her potential. First Kairi draws her Keyblade at Terranort, then have Kairi be the one to end Xemnas, showing how powerful she is as a Keyblade master, even Isa is surprised. Just have Master Xehanort use the Keyblade on himself. You know damn well that will not kill him, he has another form, he is like a snake. Xehanort rises like the phoenix and rises to Kingdom Hearts and we await the final battle in Scala ad Caelum. Only Donald and Goofy do not come with us. It’s Riku and Kairi

What I WANTED. Was to see Sora, Riku and Kairi for once to fight together. I wanted to see Sora, Riku and Kairi in the final battle with Master Xehanort. The best friends now Keyblade Masters together at last. It started with them and now it will end with them. They stop him. Ends the same way, only with Kairi playing apart at Xehanort’s defeat. And finally, they can all go home. We get to see Kairi finally reunite with Namine. We finally have everyone together. Sora, Riku, Kairi, Roxas, Namine, Xion, Lea, Isa, Aqua, Terra, Ven, Mickey, Donald and Goofy. Maybe end it where it begins with Sora, Riku and Kairi together on the island. With the three of them together holding hands. Giving us the poly Sokairiku relationship.

You STILL could tease a sequel. We had Luxu and The Dandelions and the Black Box to go with and the Secret Reports showed there was more to tell. You did not have to sacrifice the potential of Kairi to tease a goddamn sequel.
