Application to subsequent games

"Another side, Another story..." was meant every bit more than of a concept trailer, showing whatever ideas Tetsuya Nomura had for a sequel at the time; it was not meant to exist taken as an actual part of the storyline for the games. Kazushige Nojima, the scenario writer, explained that, after the story for Kingdom Hearts II was written, he had to go back and find places to put in the seemingly random quotes plant in both "Some other side, Another story..." and "Another Side, Another Story [deep dive]".

"The third enemy = Nobody", according to Nomura, is in reference to the Heartless and the Disney Villains being the commencement and second enemies respectively. "A world between = A forgotten earth; The gathering" is a possible reference to Castle Oblivion, set in the Realm In-Between and forgotten by Sora, Donald, and Goofy in the end. Another quote, "Change — The third key", may reference the modify of Riku's Soul Eater sword to his Way To Dawn Keyblade in Kingdom Hearts II, with Mickey'southward Keyblade as the start primal and Sora's equally the second key.

Ansem's other study could refer to the Hole-and-corner Ansem Reports. Axel says, "What took you so long, Kairi?" earlier taking Kairi away from The Usual Spot in Twilight Town. Kairi says "His voice...It'south left me" to Selphie toward the start of the game, and says "This time...I'll fight!" when obtaining her Keyblade at the Castle That Never Was. Sora states "Maybe our journey meant nil later all" when he is fighting Heartless later learning that defeating them only sends convict hearts to the Organization. A Sunset says, "Nosotros have come for you, my liege," upon Roxas encountering it in the Imitation Twilight Town. Xemnas tells Ansem the Wise, "You are the source of all Heartless," while the latter struggles to bring the Kingdom Hearts Encoder back nether command, with Ansem the Wise asking Xemnas "Is this the reply you've been looking for?" "A cosmos born of ignorance" is what Ansem the Wise says that any creation of Xemnas's would be (translated as "an empire of ignorance" in the English version). The Thirteenth Order is the Japanese proper name for Organization Xiii. "This is the world in its true form" is said by Riku in the Japanese version, translated as "If this is what the world actually is". "We'll become together," is the last line spoken by Sora to Riku on the Dark Margin before the Door to Light takes them dorsum home to Destiny Islands.

Except for some minor differences, such as Mickey's appearance, both Some other side, Another story... and Another Side, Some other Story [deep swoop] were replicated for the final cutscenes of Kingdom Hearts 358/ii Days, as well equally flashback scenes in Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts Ii Terminal Mix.

Trivia

Mickey wielding Sora's Kingdom Key (Its golden handle and bluish rainguard are visible.)

The inaugural from XIII stops at Two (2) instead of one. This mimics the style of old movie intro sequences. As well, 2, 7, 8, 10 and 13 are represented as Ii, VII, VIII, Ten, 13, respectively, their Roman Numerals, while the others are shown by their numeric values.
Considering Deep Dive is more of a conceptual trailer than a canonical one, both Roxas and Mickey are shown with uncharacteristic Keyblades (Roxas shown wielding the Kingdom Fundamental D, and Mickey shown wielding the Kingdom Key.) This was corrected in 358/2 Days; Mickey did not brand an appearance at Memory'south Skyscraper and Roxas did not summon an boosted Keyblade afterward Riku took Oblivion.
An actress line of dialogue was added to Deep Dive in Kingdom Hearts HD ane.5 ReMIX, a HD drove of the kickoff games in the chronology. After the championship KINGDOM HEARTS flashes on screen, the words "I went to encounter him." are at present nowadays, translating the subtitle in the original Japanese version of Deep Dive.
