I assume the KH3 quotes are the ones on the back?? If so, I have a few interesting ones on mine.

もし闇に敗北するなんて結末になるなら、俺が書き換えるさ　(This seems like something Sora might say, considering he likes adding sa to things when he talks sometimes, but it could easily be someone else as well).

まったく！僕らがいないとダメなんだから、ソラは

目の下のマーク、消えたんだな

おまえは本当によく眠るな (I wonder if this is someone speaking to Ven??)

これで俺とおまえの旅も終わる。。。 (oh my god this one scares me. I don't like the implications. Also, if it is relevant at ALL, this one was on the back of Riku's book.)

Some of these are vague enough that I can't tell if they are previous quotes or not. Like, the one referencing the marks under the eyes...wasn't that something Lea already mentioned? But I can't find some of these said previously so maybe they are from KH3 then?

Wow, these are great. These are definitely some of the most iconic quotes in the series. Thank you for putting all of these in order and in a nice organized way!

Page 174 uses that new floral design we've recently seen. And look, symbols for Demyx, Vexen, and Xigbar are shown. Also some of the corners on pages show Saix's weapon.

Absolutely gorgeous. I'd be happy with these leaflets, but a full on book series would be a treat.

I'm thrilled that the books are also giving us our first glimpse of some unheard Kingdom Hearts 3 dialogue. The Kairi / Xion connection that Lea feels is giving me more hurt than the hurt in Re:coded that Mickey neglected to let Sora know about.

I'm going over the rest of your post but I noticed that this line was actually what was said by Young Eraqus at the end of the Japanese 2015 trailer. It's saying "If Darkness is to prevail, I will rewrite it." In the english version, this was translated to "Who's to say I can't change it and maybe light will prevail."

that why Alyson is giving kairi/xion the axel part of lea is going to see xion in kairi god the concert letter make more sense now

I've found a few more on Twitter.

From Twilight (these 3 are linked in the OP):

It's saying "If Darkness is to prevail, I will rewrite it." In the english version, this was translated to "Who's to say I can't change it and maybe light will prevail."

Ah, good catch. That would be where it is from then. I was aware what it meant, just thought maybe it sounded like something Sora might say since it is a bit like "imma fix this!" haha. But Eraqus works too!

Yep.

This is the canon Kingdom Hearts 3 story:

I didn't notify you but you might've already heard from Yen Sid. I've come to train to become a Keyblade wielder. Until now, I've only been waiting for you guys to come back from your journey. Maybe with this I can at least help out a little. The magician Merlin can use magic that surpasses time. Here, we can forget about the flow of time. Isn't it great? Lea's training with me. He apologized to me over and over again. It's alright, I'd say, But he'd keep on apologizing... At first I was a bit scared but As we trained together we started talking to each other. I found out Lea also has a best friend he wants to save. I felt like, he's not a person that I can bring myself to hate... Sometimes..... He'd stare at my face So I'd ask him, what's wrong? "I don't know, but I feel like it's something I must recall", He'd say... Your journey is a journey that will help many people and the people you'll meet from now on I have a feeling these people you meet will also need your help The journey might be hard but Please stay as the cheerful and bright Sora I know Because your smile, will save many hearts.....

and here's the quotes on the leaflets:

"Don’t hold back, Lea."

"The mark under your eyes has disappeared."

"I should have bought ice cream."

And there's the quote from the video which has someone, no doubt Lea, say he bought three of something for a reason he didn't understand.

Really need a Kairi scenario to be announced, like ASAP pls.

Which books are the first 4 quotes from? :O

Awesome, thank you! :D

Gosh, I wonder what all of this means... The plot thickens!

It feels almost like the days of ASAS/Deep Dive again, analyzing all those quote fragments, haha.

These pamphlets actually contain canon info that won't be explained in KH3 but you're expected to read them before playing

/s

They're very cool. Always fun to see them touch up KH1 assets in artsy fartsy ways.

Quotes are your average Kingdom Hearts vague bullshit so I won't speculate.

Got a new one, from Dawn:

それはきっと、リクが大切な人を守る強さを手に入れた、ってことじゃないかな？

oh man... that sounds equally as interesting as it is terrifying. can't tell if it's meant to be genuinely ominous or just deceptively so.

so if i'm not mistaken, there's more than one quote for each leaflet right? can't wait to see the rest!

Not in spoken words, but in his body language (the scene in 3D where he and some other former members wake up, he looks in the mirror, points to his face and then says "...we're people again.")

Last one for Departures:

絆があるからこそ心痛かったんだと思う。心の痛みが絆なんだ

so if i'm not mistaken, there's more than one quote for each leaflet right? can't wait to see the rest!

Kind of. There are 5 different books: Departures, Memories, Twilight, Dusk and Darkness and each book has its own set of images and one quote on the back page. There are 3 different versions with different pictures on them. So there should be altogether 15 quotes, but since each person is only limited to getting 5 at a time (and only getting randomly selected ones) it might take a bit to sleuth all 15 different quotes down.

絆があるからこそ心痛かったんだと思う。心の痛みが絆なんã

Ooouch. The suffering continues...

Are there any translations for these new quotes?

Afraid I can't read japanese and I don't trust Google translate, lol.

Here's another one of the quotes.

つかみ取るだ
究極の鍵、Xブレードを！

"It's finally mine. The ultimate key, the X-Blade!"

teh sauce: https://mobile.twitter.com/XN_snow/status/1011101302363807744

Those Lea and Kairi quotes where his Xion memories are starting to awaken are really sweet.

The ‘your journey ends with me’ has me real spooked. I thought that Riku was immune to being Norted after DDD but maybe not.

i see! i think we're almost there now...



nice find! so assuming the tweet arranged them accordingly then we only have 1 darkness quote left?

Oh wow, I'd love it if these were all bound together and released as a pre order bonus

The ‘your journey ends with me’ has me real spooked.

Well, the way its said it is more like..."with this, both our journeys are over" almost as if whoever says it is...about to attack? Do something dramatic? It certainly sounds like a line said just before doing something quite serious, regardless. I keep imagining it as something one says right before grabbing someone and pitching both of them off a cliff or something horrible. The fact that it is printed on the Dawn pamphlet (the Riku one) makes me think it has something to do with Riku's arc. Possibly this involves his Replica...?

つかみ取るだ 究極の鍵、Xブレードを

Well, crud. Not like I actually expected it NOT to make an appearance. But crud.

There are pics of all of them here, including the last Darkness quote. Unfortunately the image quality isn’t that great so I can’t make it out, maybe someone else will have more luck.

https://privatter.net/u/ichi_matu

Edit: I *think* this is what it says?

ゼアノートを倒すには悲しみの中で眠る者を再びこの地に迎えねばならない

THIS ONE GIVES ME HOPE. YES, BRING BACK ROXAS, VENTUS, AND XION IMMEDIATELY.

I wonder who says it :-O :-O. Probably Yen Sid, but please throw a curve ball and have Pence or someone deliver this line.

i think that should be it, bc it's exactly like yen sid's line here?

Aw fuck, you're right :(

I'm so sick of Yen Sid, I want someone else to be leading the charge on the plot in KH3 >:(

I’ve passed these quotes off to Goldpanner, translations coming soon!

Goldpanner's translations have been added to the OP! Ignore how the Japanese text in the OP is all '??????'. It works on the main site and it just breaks when it's posted here *eye roll*

Sora's useless without us." 「心の繋がりをたどれ」 - "Follow the connection of your hearts." 「絆があるからこそ心痛かったんだと思う。心の痛みが絆なんだ」 - "I think you had that heartache precisely because you have a bond.

Many thanks for the swift translations.

No holds barred now, Lea.

I wonder if that's Isa/Saix speaking.

"Take it, the ultimate key, the X-blade!"

Huh? That sounds like someone goading someone else towards claiming the X-blade instead of being excited to get it themselves.

I was thinking that too...suicide-by-cop gambit?

"Jeez! Sora's useless without us."

"Hey there clueless, leave things be. You clearly don't understand the female heart."

Kairi. Definitely Kairi. Although, I could also see Olette saying the second line as well.

"If Roxas can come back, then so can Naminé, right?"

HELL YEAH BRING HER BACK :D

"Now our journey ends too, yours and mine…"

I wonder if this is Riku speaking to Riku Replica?

"Take it, the ultimate key, the X-blade!"

Booray!

Hey there clueless, leave things be. You clearly don't understand the female heart."

this is someone to talking to sora about the issres with kairi my guess this is Olette

I saw someone else translate it as “Don’t hold back, Lea,” which sounds more like what Xion said to him in Days. Maybe Kairi says this and it reminds Lea of Xion?

Also, I saw the 2nd one translated as, “It’s finally mine! The ultimate key, the x-blade,” which sounds more like Xehanort has gotten his hands on it. But I’m not sure which of these translations is more accurate.

"If Roxas can come back, then so can Naminé, right?"

Well fucking finally. I've started to get sick of how the fandom also kept forgetting to add Naminé to the pile so it's nice to finally see her remembered officially.

"Hey there clueless, leave things be. You clearly don't understand the female heart."

Wouldn't it be just hilarious if Sora had somehow messed a situation up with Kairi and it was Lea berating him? Lea did something like this before, though I can't tell if it was only in the manga or mentioned in the actual 358/2 Days as well. Also I would love him to flail a little and mess up because he keeps underestimating Kairi and wanting to save her while she tries to establish herself as independent from him.

it oculbe be olette as well becuase we all know how she she sora and kairi but lea also a good guess as well

Each translator does thing differently, and tries to edit the Japanese text into something cohesive in English. Follow whatever translation you want to, they’re all ultimately fan translations at the moment.

Yeah definitely! I just wanted to bring it up in case people wanted to see it from a different perspective. I’m sure they change the wording up a bit in the official translation to make it fit better with the diction of the speaking character. It’s hard to translate into that specific language style without knowing which character is saying the line.

Oh no...no, no, no, no.....

It never for a moment even crossed my mind that there was another way to read that scene of Riku and Riku, I thought it was either KH1 Riku from the past or Repliku having been restored. But you know what there as another darker way to read that scene that only now comes to mind.

"Where does my heart go when a fake like me dies?"
"It's probably goes to where my heart will"
"A faithful replica to the end, that's not so bad"

That scene might be Riku having died and his heart appear in a metaphorical afterlife where Repliku has been waiting. Though maybe it's just a temporary death....maybe it's just a near death experience...I don't want Riku to go.

On a brighter note that quote about Namine is a nice stealth confirmation that yes Roxas will be saved, he will be saved first, and that will then prompt them to move onto Namine.

With the "Don't hold back, Lea" line, I can say for sure that's more related to Xion. I just rewatched Days in Japanese again a few days ago. That's the exact line she says in save for Lea's name being Axel.

Yeah and it would make total sense for Kairi to say this while she’s training with him and spark his memory.

The first line is using “boku” to refer to themselves so it’s not any of the female characters. My guess is Donald.

I just can't see Nomura killing off Riku. He's the deuteragonist of the franchise, and for every game that Sora's featured in, Riku has an arc for himself too.

what left in riku arc though beside being the teacher

HmmmmMMMMMM! These quotes gettin' me all excited!

Let's see....

[FONT="]「まったく！僕らがいないとダメなんだから、ソラは」 - [/FONT]

[FONT="]"Jeez! Sora's useless without us."

[/FONT]

At first, I thought this was of Kairi's "Sora's completely useless without us" line from KH2, but it isn't.

[FONT="]「心の繋がりをたどれ」 - [/FONT]

[FONT="]"Follow the connection of your hearts."

[/FONT]

Sounds like this is Xigbar's "Find the hearts joined to yours" line from the showcase trailer.

[FONT="]「絆があるからこそ心痛かったんだと思う。心の痛みが絆なんだ」 - [/FONT]

[FONT="]"I think you had that heartache precisely because you have a bond. The pain of the heart is what bonds are."

[/FONT]

No clue since it doesn't sound close enough to previous dialogue, but I picture it coming from Sora. As to who he's saying it too, the first characters that come to mind are Roxas and Vanitas.

[FONT="]「おまえは本当によく眠るな 」 - [/FONT]

[FONT="]"You really do sleep a lot, don't you."

[/FONT]

[SPOILER=Mind immediately went to this]
[/SPOILER]

[FONT="]「女心がわからない子ねぇ、放っておいてあげなさいよ」 - [/FONT]

[FONT="]"Hey there clueless, leave things be. You clearly don't understand the female heart."

[/FONT]

I'm reminded of Days where I believe Axel said something similar to Roxas, but I've yet to find the Japanese line for that. It doesn't sound close enough to me though, but it still sounds like something Lea might say. I can also picture Olette saying this. But whoever says it, it sounds like Sora might have done a dumb.

[FONT="]ロクサスが戻れたら、ナミネも戻れるんだよね」 - [/FONT]

[FONT="]"If Roxas can come back, then so can Naminé, right?"[/FONT]

Sounds like Kairi is saying this one.

[FONT="]「手加減はなしだよ、リア」 - [/FONT]

[FONT="]"No holds barred now, Lea."

[/FONT]

All righty! I looked up the Japanese cutscenes of Days, and this is Xion's "Please don't hold back, Axel. Promise." Me guessing Kairi says this during their training and triggers Lea's memories.

[FONT="]「目の下のマーク、消えたんだな」 - [/FONT]

[FONT="]"The marks under your eyes disappeared, didn't they?"

[/FONT]

Guessing this is another from Kairi since the one before and after appear to be from during her and Lea's training/bonding

[FONT="]「アイス、買ってくりゃよかったな」 - [/FONT]

[FONT="]"I wish I'd bought ice cream."

[/FONT]

Lea.

[FONT="]「これで俺とおまえの旅も終わる。。。」 - [/FONT]

[FONT="]"Now our journey ends too, yours and mine…"
[/FONT]

*feels activate* I keeping thinking of Riku when reading this, and I don't like it! ;A;

[FONT="]「それはきっと、リクが大切な人を守る強さを手に入れた、ってことじゃないかな？」 - [/FONT]

[FONT="]"That must mean Riku's obtained the strength to protect those who are dear to him, right?"

[/FONT]

Mickey? I dunno. This line could come from almost anyone, really.

[FONT="]「自分の感情より誰かを助けたい気持ちの方が前にきてる。不安や孤独を感じる隙がないほどにね」 - [/FONT]

[FONT="]"The feeling of wanting to help someone comes before your own emotions. Until you have no room for stuff like anxiety or loneliness."

[/FONT]

Sora, maybe? Works for Riku too. Another line where it could come from several characters.

[FONT="]「もし闇に敗北するなんて結末になるなら、俺が書き換えるさ」 - [/FONT]

[FONT="]"Who's to say I can't change it and maybe light will prevail."

[/FONT]

That's the Young and Adorable, Baby-faced Eraqus' line from the old trailer.

[FONT="]
「つかみ取るのだ究極の鍵、Χブレードを！」 - [/FONT]

[FONT="]"Take it, the ultimate key, the X-blade!"[/FONT]

[FONT="]
[/FONT]

Zeenort. Though it sounds like he's telling someone else to grab it.

[FONT="]「ゼアノートを倒すには悲しみの中で眠る者を再びこの地に迎えねばならない」 - [/FONT]

[FONT="]“To strike down Xehanort, we need the individuals King Mickey spoke of in his letter. We must lead them out of sorrow and slumber.”[/FONT]

Yen Sid, probably.

Technically, his arc of being a Keyblade Master hasn't even started yet. There's so much that can be delved with Riku now that he's conquered his fear of the darkness and moved past his questionable actions.

As a Master, he can be balanced in the ways of the light and darkness unlike Eraqus who thought that light and darkness was absolute.

i'd say the first one isn't kairi bc of the pronoun. i'm thinking maybe donald or goofy…

the speech style in the second one sounds distinctly feminine. tbh my first thought was actually larxene lol. also kinda reminds me of that conversation axel and roxas had in days.



hmm my own reading was similar to "Take it, the ultimate key, the X-blade!”
i feel like if the speaker meant something like "it's finally mine" it would've been worded a little differently. just my opinion though.



holy shit. i don't know if i want this but that's definitely an interesting take.

I've updated the OP with the "Please don't hold back, Lea" line since that's probably what they're gonna go for.

Yep. It's been identified as one of Yen Sid's lines in KH3D. Guess he repeats it in KH3.

Kingdom Hearts has a habit of bringing characters back from the dead. And if that rebirth theory is true even more complicated. I think knowing the series is more than likely still going to continue afterwards and that this series bleeds hope. So even if Riku does kick the bucket I think there is a chance he will live again.. I am extremely curious if that rebirth theory will end up being true.

Don't bet on that rebirth theory being true. There hasn't been any canon evidence for it aside from that one time people thought that the JP voice actors for the Foretellers were the same as TAVRK

Reminds me of the opening of KH2, with Sora saying, “I want to line the pieces up—yours and mine.” It would be appropriate for Riku to say this (to Sora), considering the opening of KH2 seems to refer to the events of CoM Sora can't remember and they were two sides of that story together.

I hope I'm not the only one hoping that they'll release this leaflet in full book (maybe ultimania or special book later before release?) because the page number's order at the bottom seems not in order to me (even though it make sense with the storyline).

This time though, that's actually just the translation making it similar. But it's not the same in the Japanese version. 「一緒に」 is used for the "yours and mine" line in the opening.

On another note, I'm a little bit sad there's no quotes from the BBS trio themselves.

The more they release these kind of materials, the more I think the Days trio holds far more weight than the BBS trio in KH3. Which means Xion is getting more and more likely to be saved huh. But I guess that was obvious since DDD. And I love it.

Reminds me of the opening of KH2, with Sora saying, “I want to line the pieces up—yours and mine.” It would be appropriate for Riku to say this (to Sora), considering the opening of KH2 seems to refer to the events of CoM Sora can't remember and they were two sides of that story together.

I doubt this, mostly because I have a hard time seeing Riku referring to Sora as "omae", especially in this context.

The Rebirth theory is pretty much dead in the water the minute Ventus revealed himself as having existed simultaneously alongside the foretellers.
