"Another side, Another story..." was meant as more of a concept trailer, showing whatever ideas [[wikipedia:Tetsuya Nomura|Tetsuya Nomura]] had for a sequel at the time; it was not meant to be taken as an actual part of the storyline for the games. [[wikipedia:Kazushige Nojima|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 found in both "Another side, Another story..." and "Another Side, Another Story [deep dive]". The idea of the Keyblade wielder was affixed to Roxas, and the blindfolded male to Riku.

"The third enemy = Nobody" implies that the [[Unversed]] and the [[Heartless]] are the First and Second Enemies; however, a flashback in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' depicts several Neoshadows and [[Darkside]]s ''before'' the appearance of the Unversed, even though the Heartless did not begin attacking the Realm of Light until ''Kingdom Hearts''. Therefore, it is unclear whether the Heartless are considered the First or Second Enemy. "A world between = A forgotten world; The gathering" is a possible reference to the [[The Gathering|secret ending of the same name]] found at the end of ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the teaser for ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. Another quote, "Change — The third key ", may reference the change of heart Riku takes in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', with Mickey as the first key and Sora as the second key.

Except for some minor differences, such as Mickey's appearance, both "Another side, Another story..." and "Another Side, Another Story [deep dive]" were replicated for the final cutscenes of ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', as well as flashback scenes in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''.

[Ansem's other report] could refer to the [[Secret Ansem Reports]]. [[Axel]] says, "What took you so long, Kairi?" before taking Kairi away from The Usual Place in [[Twilight Town]]. A [[Dusk]] says, "We have come for you, my liege," upon Roxas encountering it in the [[Simulated 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 under control. The Thirteenth Order is the Japanese name for [[Organization XIII]]. "We'll go together," is the last line spoken by Sora to Riku on the Dark Meridian before the Door to Light takes them back home to Destiny Islands in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
