Kingdom Hearts Story Recap
Chain of Memories
Traveling Through Castle Oblivion
After the events of Kingdom Hearts Sora, Donald, and Goofy are looking for King Mickey and Riku, when they stumble upon a mysterious castle called Castle Oblivion.
While exploring the castle the three begin losing their memories, and they first meet members of Organization XII.
Oblivion was a plan by the Organization to wipe Sora’s memories and gain control over him, or create a new Keyblade wielder from his data.
Namine
Throughout Chain of Memories Sora begins to remember a young girl named Namine. As it turns out, Namine is a very unique Nobody born when Sora released Kairi’s heart from his body.
Born from Kairi’s heart, and Sora’s body and soul, Namine has control over all of Sora’s memories and starts removing and replacing them when he enters Castle Oblivion.
Although Kairi never turned into a Heartless or Nobody, she’s still technically incomplete without Namine.
Rebuilding Sora’s Memories
At the end of Chain of Memories, with some help from the Organization member Axel, Sora meets Namine and learns the truth about everything.
Breaking free from the Organization’s plot, Namine agrees to help rebuild Sora, Donald, and Goofy’s memories. The three of them enter stasis pods to start the rebuilding process, forgetting everything that happened at Oblivion in the process.
