This article is being moved.
It has been suggested that this article or section be moved to Pod for: only called "Pod" within official materials as far as I can tell Please discuss this further on the talk page. |
A Pod (ポッド Poddo) is a flower-shaped device. Naminé placed Sora, Donald, and Goofy in several Pods to sleep as she reassembled their memories.
Story
Between Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories
Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories
After defeating Marluxia, Sora meets with Naminé in a room within Castle Oblivion and she offers to reconstruct his memories. However, due to the extent of the damage, he, Donald, and Goofy would have to go into stasis within the Pods, in order to keep them safe and cared for while Naminé conducts her task.[1][2]
After defeating the Riku-Replica within the castle's Twilight Town-styled basement, Riku meets with Naminé and is shown Sora sleeping in his Pod. Naminé offers to use her powers to seal away Riku's memories, permanently locking away Ansem,[3] but Riku refuses, and instead asks her to promise to look after Sora.[4]
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
DiZ works with Naminé to restore Sora's memories as he slumbers in the Pod. He persuaded her to move the Pods to his secure laboratory in the basement of Twilight Town's Old Mansion, as Castle Oblivion was too at risk to intrusion by Organization XIII. Secret Ansem Report 10 During the reconstruction, he digitized himself and his research on Roxas, Axel, Naminé, Xion, Terra, Ventus, and Aqua, and hid them within Sora's memories, hoping they could eventually be used to find these lost friends.[5][6] Template:Section-stub
Kingdom Hearts II
On the last day of Roxas's summer vacation within the simulated Twilight Town, the simulation is attacked in earnest by Axel and the Organization's Nobodies. DiZ calls him to the Old Mansion, so Roxas makes his way there.[7] He fends off the Nobodies as he explores the building, and eventually discovers DiZ's basement laboratory. He passes by Donald and Goofy's Pods in the Basement Corridor, stirring recognition,[8] before reaching the Pod Room presided over by Sora's Pod. DiZ sends a digital projection of himself into the simulation to confront Roxas, exhorting him to rejoin with Sora so that Sora will have the power to destroy the Organization.[9] Roxas attempts to attack the projection, but it merely vanishes. With Roxas there and Naminé's work done, Sora's Pod opens and Roxas is absorbed back into him, as the boy accepts his fate.[10]
At the same time, in the real Twilight Town, Sora and his friends awaken within their Pods and emerge, marking the start of a new journey.[11] Upon closer inspection, Sora and friends discover that the other pods situated in the laboratory were used before, though it is unknown who slept in them and for what purpose.[12]
Kingdom Hearts coded
Sora's Pod, watched over by Naminé, appears in the Journal's data reconstruction of Castle Oblivion just as it was when the original Sora met with Naminé. Episode 8
Other appearances
Kingdom Hearts II opening FMV
When Sora reaches Naminé's room at the top of Castle Oblivion, she surprises him by sketching him inside of a Pod, which then sprouts around him and closes.
A Fragmentary Passage
Design
The Pods are crystalline devices. When closed, they resemble a marble structure in the shape of an unbloomed lotus flower. They open by "blooming", revealing a crystalline chamber within, covered by circuitry. The crystal is usually transparent when not in use. The interior of the pods is completely black and gives the illusion of a large, shadowy room. They can come in multiple sizes, as Donald and Goofy sleep within small Pods arranged in rows in the Basement Corridor, while Sora sleeps within a much larger Pod placed by itself in the Pod Room.
Notes and references
- ^ Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Donald: "To remember again, we have to sleep in that?" / Naminé: "Yes. It's going to take a little time, but I'll take care of you."
- ^ Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Chronicle: Chain of Memories: "She offered him a choice: he could either put his scattered memories back the way they were and lose all memory of this castle, or keep his memories the way they were now. Sora chose to get his old memories back by going into a deep sleep until they could be repaired."
- ^ Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Riku's Tale VI: "When he found her, he also found Sora and friends in a deep slumber, waiting to get their lost memories back. Namine told Riku he could seal Ansem away forever by giving up his memories, but Riku refused to forget his friends."
- ^ Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Riku: "You made me a promise." / Naminé: "To look after Sora. I remember. I'm sorry...I'm not sure I've kept that promise very well."
- ^ Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, Naminé: "These people are waiting for Sora—the only one who can put an end to their hurt. DiZ told me...he hid something inside you during the year you were asleep. I asked him what, and all he would say was that he was "clearing his conscience." Sora must be the key to saving the people you saw—"
- ^ Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Ansem the Wise: "Perhaps I wanted to atone for events of the past, even if no apology can undo the harm I have wrought. I felt...that I ought to leave at least something behind. So I digitized myself and my research, and hid them within Sora."
- ^ Kingdom Hearts II, DiZ: "Roxas, to the mansion! The time has come!"
- ^ Kingdom Hearts II, Roxas: "...Donald...Goofy?"
- ^ Kingdom Hearts II, DiZ: "My apologies. This is only a data-based projection."
- ^ Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Chronicle: Kingdom Hearts II: "On the last day of his vacation, Roxas remembered who he really was and what he had been trying to do. He found Sora sleeping in a pod, and realized his summer vacation would have to end."
- ^ Kingdom Hearts II, Twilight Town: "Guided by a voice calling out to him, Sora awoke in a mysterious old mansion. He must have been sleeping there for a long time, but he couldn't remember a thing."
- ^ Kingdom Hearts II, Pods' entry: "There's evidence that this was used before."
