Just evaluating infinite speed.So what should we do here currently?
This is the argument. For now, Maverick agrees, and DDM agrees.This isn’t exactly the case. The point of him saying this is because you start at Cinderella’s area. When you simply enter the Realm of Darkness, at some random part, you end up like Riku, walking through this endless black.
Considering the fact that, again, in the same quote, it states that it houses Cinderella’s Castle (again, an entire space-time with independent timeflows), infinite has to be the case here.
Improbable, really. I don’t see how you could feasibly justify “parallel” not being equal in response to a 5-D space. That would have to make the RoD infinitely smaller, which isn’t ever substantiated. It’s actually the opposite, since, again, Xehanort describes each world as small in response to the infinite Ocean, and how Nomura says how you don’t have to wander in endless darkness because you’re starting in Cinderella’s area.
There’s also this statement, from Nomura:
Not to pull a whataboutism, but this is common in fiction. Take BlazBlue characters reaching the center of the Boundary, despite it being infinite in size. Or D, from Vampire Hunter D, crossing an infinite space. Or Helios, from God of War, in which his light reached an infinite sized Underworld. Or, even more so, Persona & SMT, where Seth/Kuzuryu and many more threaten to below up the infinite space. By this logic, their attacks shouldn’t have worked, because there would always be more space.
It’s called The Dark Margin, the place where the World of Darkness “ends” and links with the Realm Between (that being Light & Dark realms respectively).
No issue. It was translated by Gale, in our server. You can ask him if you want.
Tl;dr, the Realm of Light is infinite. The Realm of Darkness is parallel. It contains Cinderella’s Castle, an entire space-time, in and of itself. Nomura says being in there would be wandering endlessly in darkness. Aqua reached the furthest end of it, on foot.It is a bit confusing to read fragmented responses. Can somebody write a more coherent explanation text please?
Not possible, it’s directly cited as a parallel to the Realm of Light. You can’t parallel to a higher-dimensional structure. It’s also called the reverse side.But wandering endlessly in darkness could more likely just mean being lost due to not finding one's way since it is completely dark.
I already elaborated that the Realm of Darkness encompasses Cinderella’s Castle, which is a Spacetime, which is defaulted as infinite here.Okay, but I still don't see how that most people there end up being endlessly lost translates to reliable evidence for infinite speed taken entirely on its own. That is a common concept in fiction about realities with strange geometry, unusual physics, and complete darkness, that makes it near impossible to find one's way. We require much better evidence than that.
Are you going to explain why or are you just going to shut it down based on authority again.That is not a sufficiently good explanation. My apologies.
You refused to read the in-depth I gave to Grath, asked for a concise tl;dr which requires me to slice the context, and are confused why you’re misunderstanding. I don’t understand what you want me to do. I didn’t explain it wrongly, you just don’t feel like reading what I said.I have tried to explain that our standard conventions require very explicit and self-evident evidence for such extreme statistics, not simply a statement that can be interpreted as being eternally lost in darkness and nothing else
I did. You chose not to read it. I quoted it, it doesn’t take much time to click the quote. It was made on the same page.All that I saw was a fragmented response, and I have very limited time available.
The standard practice in this community is to write easy to understand coherent explanation posts for our staff members to evaluate when asked for it, as we cknstantly have many many tasks to do, and cannot be forced thoroughly read through the entireties of every thread in order to understand.
I could ask the same thing of you. Are you going to ban me off the thread like last time under the guise I’m attacking you, or just ban me outright? Because where I’m standing, DDM & Maverick already agree. The issue is you.Are you or Bobsican willing to collaborate, or are you going to continue to waste time and energy being obstinate and uncollaborative?
Feel free to file a report on me, then.This is far from the only time that you turn unreasonably aggressive and self-righteous over trivial issues.
5D verse + infinite speedI am not sure what is going on here anymore tbh.

@Bobsican
Are you willing to try to explain this in a better way please?
Also, can you list all of the staff members who have responded here please?
As mentioned, I’ve given up on quantifying speed feats from the Ocean Between, instead, I opt to use this feat from KH 0.2.
To start off, Nomura cites the Realm of Darkness to contain Cinderella’s Castle (as we already elaborated, worlds are space-times), and yet, still considers being in there “endlessly in darkness”. This is further substantiated by the passage that states the Realm of Darkness is a parallel to the Realm of Light, which includes the Ocean Between.
Aqua, after being trapped in the Realm of Darkness, reaches the furthest shore on foot. Ultima is neutral on the feat, so, I’ll leave it to you all to discuss.
I have tried to explain that our standard conventions require very explicit and self-evident evidence for such extreme statistics, not simply a statement that can be interpreted as being eternally lost in darkness and nothing else, but if I have misunderstood, Bobsican should feel free to try to explain the full context in a better manner.
So, I still think "wandering endlessly" is a bit too vague by itself to give such a definitive interpretation of; there is nothing I see wrong with interpreting that statement as a figure of speech, not a reference to the size of the Realm of Darkness. However, you are correct on the point about Cinderella's Castle (to my knowledge) - if Cinderella's Castle is indeed a space-time in itself, and it is only a section of the total Realm of Darkness, that is a good reason to say the Realm of Darkness is infinite in size. At least, I believe that would meet the site standards to be considered as such. So the statement of "wandering endlessly" isn't too important one way or the other; this should be fine.This isn’t exactly the case. The point of him saying this is because you start at Cinderella’s area. When you simply enter the Realm of Darkness, at some random part, you end up like Riku, walking through this endless black.

I still have the aforementioned issue with taking "wandering endlessly" literally, but that statement attached there does give a lot of important context. I don't think this conclusion is outright deducible from the statement alone, but it seems like more than enough of a reasonable induction - I'm alright with saying the Realm of Light and Realm of Darkness are the same size with this addition.Improbable, really. I don’t see how you could feasibly justify “parallel” not being equal in response to a 5-D space. That would have to make the RoD infinitely smaller, which isn’t ever substantiated. It’s actually the opposite, since, again, Xehanort describes each world as small in response to the infinite Ocean, and how Nomura says how you don’t have to wander in endless darkness because you’re starting in Cinderella’s area.
There’s also this statement, from Nomura:
"As for the structure of the worlds, first, the so-to-speak normal worlds—the ones that Sora, the Disney characters and we live on—are situated in the Realm of Light. If you picture those worlds as existing on the same level on top of a giant plane, then on a separate level, in other words on the reverse side, exists the Realm of Darkness."
Ehh, alright. It is true that fiction does tend to treat "infinity" in ways that seem weird when scrutinised, especially to this extent. It doesn't change how odd it is, but you are correct that Kingdom Hearts isn't the only verse to do this. For the sake of consistency in how verses are treated, this can probably slide.Not to pull a whataboutism, but this is common in fiction. Take BlazBlue characters reaching the center of the Boundary, despite it being infinite in size. Or D, from Vampire Hunter D, crossing an infinite space.

Gotcha. This harkens back to the aforementioned issue about infinity (i.e.: "How does an infinite space have a border?"). The same reasoning that you've already given applies, of course - fiction does tend to treat infinity in odd ways, and we're typically okay with indexing those feats. If The Dark Margin is indeed the "furthest shore" of the World of Darkness, I'm okay with taking this literally despite the oddity of it.It’s called The Dark Margin, the place where the World of Darkness “ends” and links with the Realm Between (that being Light & Dark realms respectively).
No worries, then. I'll trust his translation.No issue. It was translated by Gale, in our server. You can ask him if you want.
Okay. I think that if the Realm of Darkness is explicitly infinite in size, and Aqua also explicitly travelled through an infinitely long part of it, that is probably fine to use.Oh sorry for not coming earlier, I got busy, but anyways...
Just quoting this does the job better on summarizing the argument, it isn't too long anyways, so this may be fine as is for the purposes of asking other staff to evaluate it.
As for this, as said before, the Realm of Darkness is stated to parallel the Realm of Light (with the Realm of Light being the main portion of the Ocean Between given the same overall definition), and so it'd be a infinite 5-D structure like it by definition.
That said, IDK what are our exact standards on infinite speed by reaching the "border" of an infinite structure.
As for the staff that have commented on this thread and would be willing to comment (thus notably excluding @Mr._Bambu)...
@Executor_N0 , @DarkDragonMedeus , @DarkGrath , @Everything12 , @Ultima_Reality , @Nehz_XZX , and @Maverick_Zero_X (agrees with infinite)
Thank you, Grath. And I appreciate your evaluation, take as long as you need.Thank you for the detailed response, Milly. My apologies for my late response on this thread; the past few days have been incredibly busy.

No worries, then. I'll trust his translation.
I appreciate the elaboration you've given, and I believe the case for this change is much stronger as a result. As mentioned, even if I don't consider every premise outright proven or deductive, I think this is reasonable enough to pass our standards for Infinite Speed.
Alright, we will get to work.The accepted revisions need to be applied first.
Yeah, that's more or less what I thought, and vaguely recall it being implied they at least stepped foot within an infinite number of timelines.Okay. I think that if the Realm of Darkness is explicitly infinite in size, and Aqua also explicitly travelled through an infinitely long part of it, that is probably fine to use.
I didn’t want this thread made until Ultima healed to actually look at it, lol.The real purpose of this thread (sort of, lol) is now up.
