Paopu Fruit: Difference between revisions

In an early scene in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', [[Riku]] explains the fruit to [[Sora]] while on the bridge in [[Destiny Islands]]. Riku tosses him one and tells him a legend that says that if two people share the same Paopu Fruit, they will remain a part of each other's lives forever. Later on, while racing for the right to name the raft they have built, Riku raises the stakes. He says that the winner should get to share a Paopu fruit with [[Kairi]] (though if asked about it after the race, he will state he was merely joking). This intensifies the rivalry between the two, both to prove who is stronger and to gain Kairi's attention. [[Selphie]] thinks the legend is very romantic and wants to try it, sometime. Later, in the Secret Cave, Sora draws a picture of himself giving Kairi the fruit. This same drawing touches Kairi in the end credits of Kingdom Hearts (she is seen shedding a few tears) and draws another picture of herself giving the fruit to Sora.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', the fake good luck charm [[Naminé]] gave to [[Sora]] in [[Castle Oblivion]], also resembles a Paopu fruit. This good luck charm returns to its true form when Sora begins to remember [[Kairi]].
