Twitter's Epic Rebrand: Unveiling the Astonishing Similarities to Kingdom Hearts 3's Organization XIII!

Highlights

The timing of the rebrand aligns with the significant numbers 7 and 13 in Kingdom Hearts lore, while Twitter's utilization of the color black resonates with the aesthetic of Organization 13.

Musk's X and Xehanort's Organization 13 share various similarities, such as naming conventions, resulting in humorous fan theories and memes.

Ever since Musk acquired Twitter in late 2022, his Twitter account has consistently made headlines. The recent news story revolves around the rebranding of Musk's iconic Twitter name to the enigmatic X. Surprisingly, this move has sparked interest and controversy within the Kingdom Hearts community.

Understanding the profound impact of the transition from Twitter to X on Kingdom Hearts players necessitates a comprehension of the intricate lore underlying the games. The convoluted fusion of Disney and Final Fantasy within this beloved crossover franchise is renowned for its perplexing nature. However, within the scope of this discussion, deciphering the origin of the numerous memes becomes relatively straightforward.

Twitter Has Been Norted

Twitter's transformation into X, combined with the platform's adoption of a dominant black color scheme, draws intriguing parallels with Xehanort's Organization 13 in Kingdom Hearts. A post shared on the Kingdom Hearts subreddit hilariously highlights numerous uncanny resemblances, such as the fact that the Twitter bird was trademarked 13 years ago and the timing of this change in July, the seventh month of the year.

In the lore of Kingdom Hearts, the numbers 7 and 13 hold significant importance and are consistently mentioned throughout the series. The core of this lore revolves around the story of the original Keyblade, known as the X Blade, which was fragmented into 20 pieces - 7 of light and 13 of darkness. According to prophecy, seven wielders of light must unite to confront and save Kingdom Hearts from thirteen wielders of darkness, thereby safeguarding the entire universe. Currently, the seven wielders of light are believed to be Sora, Mickey, Riku, Lea, Aqua, Ventus, and Kairi. However, it is important to note that these roles are subject to change in each new title, such as Axel leaving Organization 13 and transforming into his true self, Lea.

The name "X" itself serves as a notable link between Musk's social media platform and Xehanort's mysterious collective. Each member of Organization 13 adopts a new name, which is always an anagram of their previous name with an additional X. For instance, Lea's Organization 13 name is Axel, Sora's nobody is Roxas, and Ansem's is Xemnas. However, it should be acknowledged that the discrepancy lies in the fact that "X" is not an anagram of "Twitter" with an X added, but simply "X" alone.

Everyone on Twitter is Losing Their Hearts on X

The Twitter rebranding has sparked humorous fan theories within the Kingdom Hearts community, such as speculations of Elon Musk being Master Xehanort or Twitter being transformed into a "Norted" version. Memes referencing the series' iconic black cloaked Organization 13 have been rampant on the Kingdom Hearts subreddit.

As of now, the specific plans Elon Musk has for the future of what is now referred to as X remain mostly unknown. It is unlikely that these plans involve embarking on a Disney-themed adventure to fight Heartless and Nobodies, but the Kingdom Hearts community can at least enjoy the humor of it all through memes.

Kingdom Hearts 3 is available now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
