1. Something weird in town (image 1)

2. Welcome to derry/ Ice cream i.e. dairy (image 2)

Derry, the town from the "IT" series and the ice cream in Kingdom hearts are a play on the word dairy.

3. The photos (3rd image)

 everything starts when "Michael" finds an old photo of Georgie at a crime scene. The photo of Georgie that Michael finds starts everything in motion and sounds the alarm Michael that "IT" is back. Georgie's photo is the catalyst of events that brings the group back together. And KH2 begins with other worldly entities stealing photo's of roxas from different people around town causing them all to suspect roxas and his group of being the culprits until roxas actually finds all the lost photos of himself and returns them all to their owners.

4. the Losers club /the 7 wonders of twilight town (4th image)

The Losers club are a group of 7 kids who live in Derry and encounter strange phenomenon in the form of a strange entity in town. While the 7 wonders are 7 strange phenomenon rumored to occur at certain locations in twilight town that roxas and his friends investigate over the summer

5. Summer vacation (5th image)

The Events of IT and KH2'S opening take place during summer vacation.

6. The haunted mansion

In Twilight Town the old mansion is one of the 7 wonders that Roxas and his friend pence investigate over the summer. Pence concludes that the house isnt actually haunted and its just a breeze flapping the curtain while at the same time roxas can see a young girl in the window inside. Later Roxas finds an underground lab inside the house where there is a portal to the organizations world called "the world the never was"

In Derry there is a haunted house on 29 neibolt st Where the kids encounter it and turns out to be the entrance to his lair

7. Pence/ Pennywise

Roxas's friend's name Pence means pennies. Pennywise is the name of the demonic clown entity the losers club calls IT. He also exist in a virtual twilight town which was created by a man called "Ansem the wise" between the two of them you have "Pennywise"

8. The sceptic

Though apart of the losers club Stanley is skeptical of the strange phenomenon that they have been experiencing and frequently tries to discount or dismiss the strange happenings that abound in Derry

In KH2 Roxas investigates the strange phenomenon known as the seven wonders with his friends but he is the only one who experiences anything strange while his all his other friends conclude that everything is just a conspiracy theory or hoax

9. IT/XION

Xion is a character from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days and it is a prequel to KH2. Most of the connections to IT actually occur in this game and not KH2. Xion is basically an android or whats called a "replica" in KH she is literally referred to as an "IT" multiple times in the game

10.Pranksters paradise

The 358/2 game would have featured "pleasure island" from Pinocchio, where we find a pennywise looking clown adorning the gate entrance to the circus. Even stranger this world is actually from a different game Kingdom Hearts 3D'S But we now know this games first appearance was actually supposed to be in the game 358/2 days. We only know this because found code for characters from Pinocchio's world still in the game and asked the creator who responded in an interview

11. resurgence of repressed memories

Finding the photo's of georgie and Roxas causes repressed memories to resurface little by little over time.

BONUS 1: Olette/ Annette O'tool

On its own it's too crazy to consider but in conjunction with everything else i think its more unlikely that its not true than it is. Olette's name is a conjunction of Annette O'Toole's first and last name. She is the actor who plays the character "Beverly marsh" in 1990's IT

Both Olette and Beverly are the only female members of their respective groups

Bonus 2: KH IT name theme

while researching all this i stumbled across this post about Kingdom Hearts having an IT naming Theme which is interesting considering that i have a theory that IT is AI and i did see the matrix in the 1990's IT films. Meaning, some of the films in the movie reminded me very strongly of the matrix. Also Most of KH2'S opening sequence takes place in a literal matrix

BONUS 1: Olette/ Annette O'tool

On its own it's too crazy to consider but in conjuction with everything else i think its more unlikely that its not true than it is. Olette's name is a conjection of Annette O'toole's first and last name. She is the actor who plays the character "Beverly marsh" in 1990's IT

Both Olette and Beverly are the only female members of their respective groups

So I have the whole entire KH collection on my ps5 and recently i decided to replay The games I wanted to play everything in order but ive been playing kind of sporadically if I'm being honest lol so Recently I started replaying KH2 and i just wanted to play with an open mind and give it a fair shot I used to hate KH2 mostly because i mostly play games for the story and coming off the heels of KH1 and especially having waited years for the game Maybe i had my hopes built up too high but ultimately I was severely disappointed with the game. Part of it was not knowing anything about Roxas or what happened to sora but mostly I didn't like it because I felt like the story made absolutely no sense. whereas KH1 was a simplistic story that was simple to understand, KH2 right off the bat just made absolutely no sense. I absolutely hated the whole picture thief thing and the stolens words nonsense. I dont know i guess it felt like they had no idea what they were doing and just threw any old story together and that is the view i had of KH2 for a long time until now actually because i just replayed the game and somehow i noticed a lot of connections to Stephen Kings IT. I fully expect no one to believe me but at this point I dont really care, i just have to talk about this. So here is every single connection that i found between IT and Twilight Town.

So, the first thing is the sea salt ice cream. I always thought it was weird they called it ice cream when it's a popsicle but i know thanks to finally looking it up is that the Japanese word is apparently more flexible and i looked up some video of people making it and they did use eggs & milk and dairy products. Dairy of course being a reference to Derry from IT

the whole photo thief thing to me that never made sense and seemed so stupid and ridiculous now makes sense. You see, in "IT" everything starts when "Michael" finds an old photo2 of Georgie at a crime scene. The photo of Georgie that Michael finds starts everything in motion and sounds the alarm for the losers (Michael) that "IT" is back. Georgie's photo is the catalyst of events that brings the group back together and recalls their repressed memories of IT which they slowly begin to recover. Bill even forgets that he had a brother Georgie who was killed by IT.

As we know, The events of KH2 are set in motion by nobodies stealing photo's but not just photo's... the word photo too! I believe this is a reference to Bill's stuttering coming back after michael finds the picture of his dead little brother Georgie

to be continued..

I recently played KH2 again after a long time and i finally understand it. I used to hate KH2 because i thought it was so freaking dumb and made no sense. OMG how wrong i was. KH2 Twilight town is literally derry
