Kingdom Hearts | The colors of each individual Kingdom Hearts correspond to its composition. For example, the Kingdom Hearts constructed by [[Organization XIII]] from the "hearts of men" is yellow, while the Kingdom Hearts revealed by Master Xehanort's use of the χ-blade is blue. In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', the Kingdom Hearts, once again summoned by Xehanort, was a fiery gold, but whenever Xehanort corrupted it or drawn power from it, it becomes a conglomeration of dark and foreboding colors, including purple and dark blue. As it prepared to purge the universe, it was fiery orange.<ref>'''''[[Director's Secret Report XIII]]''''', p. 26; '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "I think of "all life has heart" as the most basic premise of KH. The heart of worlds was a great heart that gathered everything that formed those worlds: the natural things such as the trees in the forests, the oceans and rivers, the flowers and such. The heart of people, as it is called, was the collected hearts of the humans and animals and such that lived in those worlds. A Kingdom Hearts is considered to be an aggregation of the originally invisible "proofs of life" known as hearts." Translation via Goldpanner.</ref> | ||

One day, this would be called the age of fairy tales. It all began here in Daybreak Town. The Master of Masters had an eye that gazes into the future.
