The Kingdom Hearts III meme culture primarily stems from the game’s decade-long development cycle and its notoriously complex narrative that weaves Disney characters with intricate Square Enix lore. Common templates include the iconic cover art of Sora gazing at the sunset or screenshots of characters looking bewildered. These memes are widely used to poke fun at the series' confusing nomenclature, the recurring 'Darkness' vs. 'Light' dialogue, and the surreal experience of seeing Donald Duck discuss existential crises. Since its 2019 release, the meme has evolved into a staple for gaming communities to express confusion, nostalgia, or the inherent absurdity of crossover media.
