Melody of Memory Theory (SPOILERS)
Why Kairi May be More Powerful than We Think:
At the end of Melody of Memory, Xeanort explains that he was testing Kairi's power as a princess of heart by seeing if she would "resonate" with a keyblade wielder's heart. Because Xeanort is using this quality as criteria to test if she was a princess of heart, we can infer that part of a POH's ability is to have deep connections with keyblade wielders. Looking at every POH (Alice, Jazmine, Belle, Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, and Kairi) ALL of them have had a meaningful interaction with a keyblade wielder at some point. Sora tries to free Alice in Wonderland, Sora tries to save Jazmine in Agrabah, Sora helps Belle with the Beast in kh2, Terra tries to take Auroras heart in bbs, Ventus tries to help with Cinderella's dress, and Aqua helps the Prince wake up Snow White. Not to mention the player, a keyblade wielder, encounters most of these princesses in the mobile game to help them in some way. Even the new seven hearts (Rapunzel, Elsa, etc.) are immediately introduced to Sora, who, at that point, was choosing where to go based on what felt right in his heart. This would have to mean that keyblade wielders are perpetually linked to POHs to help them (besides Terra and Riku ofc bc they went through angsty phases with the darkness.)
Now, let's look at Kairi based on this connection. She succeeds in finding not one, but two keyblade wielders as a child (Sora and Riku) to help her by providing her with a safe home and to get her away from Xeanort, *subconsciously, not even trying.* Then, as a pre-treen, she ends up inside Sora's, a keyblade wielder's heart, to keep her safe. (Yes, I'm aware this is from Aqua's spell, I'm getting to that). This only happens because of her "chance" encounter with Aqua and Mickey years before, who, upon meeting her, are determined they must protect her for no other reason than the "strong light" she has. The benefits of their meeting takes a decade to show up, but its just another example of the heart connection POHs have with keyblade wielders. Nobody has a clear explanation to *why* they want to help Kairi, they just *know* they have to help her and intervene. Meeting Mickey and Aqua was no accident. Meeting Riku and Sora was no accident. It's her *power* as a POH. Kairi getting the keyblade, under this theory, can fall under the "help" that she gets from keyblade wielders, since Aqua didn't mean to bequeath her. Yet, Kairi gets bequeathed, enabling her to better defend herself in the future from Xeanort. I personally think Kairi getting the keyblade is because of her connection with keyblade wielders and her ability as a POH to always receive help from them. What better way to help a POH than giving her a keyblade of her own to protect herself from high profile enemies?
And for Kairi, this connection goes BOTH WAYS. She helps out keyblade wielders as well (resurrecting Sora in kh1, getting Sora and Riku out of the Realm of Darkness in kh2, helping defeat Xeanort in kh3, and getting a lead on Sora's whereabouts in MoM.) It's a symbiotic relationship for her. A you help me, I'll help you kind of thing.
With all of this being said, MoM is the icing on the cake. The reason I think Kairi is incredibly powerful is the final boss in MoM. When Kairi is in trouble, and her own keyblade is failing her, not only does she wield Sora's, she *becomes* Sora. NOTHING like this has ever been done in the series before. Sure, D-links in bbs allows one character to use a small amount of another's abilities. Sure, summons allow a character to bring a helper in from another world and have them join the party. Sure, Mickey saves Sora from time to time in kh2. BUT NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS BEEN DONE. Her heart quite literally reaches out to Sora and borrows him, all because of the deep connection she has with keyblade wielders as a POH to get help from them and get help *for them*, as winning this battle gives Kairi the information she needs to allow Riku to visit the world he's allegedly in. The implications of this are incredible, because Kairi doesn't meerly summon a memory of Sora, because if she did, he would be able to talk, but like Xeanort says, he cannot speak because of the world he is currently in, meaning that the Sora she summons exists in REAL TIME! She is able to temporarily summon Sora (or piece of him - maybe his heart-)*across realms*, wield his keyblade, become him, and have control of *all* of his powers. I-... Imagine if Nomura built on this mechanic for her, like if she were at critical health, she can momentarily embody Sora or any other keyblade wielder. I guess it would sort of work as a drive form. Anyway, I'm getting carried away.
It is also my theory that the desire to help and protect Kairi existing in every keyblade wielder's heart, bc she is a POH, is why she has been benched so often. They can't bring themselves to let her go out on her own if they can avoid it, because of their determination to help and protect her. It's why Riku reacts so harshly for her wanting to go with him at the end of MoM, *but he can't form a single sentence to explain why* until Kairi relents and supplies the reason, her training, for him.
All of this being said, I really hope Kairi training under Aqua gives the others confidence in her, and that she can finally have an adventure of her own, hopefully exploring her powers as a POH. I really hope the unique link she had with Sora at the end of MoM comes into play again, because I personally believe it was Kairi in his body/borrowing his power, and I'd love to see that develop overtime.
Anyway, this is just my personal theory. It probably has holes but its how I'm coping with the ending for now 🤠

Xion: Roxas, I got you McDonalds.
Roxas: You fool! McDonalds is a capitalist tyrant and you, mere mortal, have given into their ways of back door marketing and- is that a happy meal?
Xion: I figured you could use it.
Roxas (tearing up): You, uh, wanna split the fries or something?

Wayfinder Trio Doing the Boba-Tiktok Challenge
Ventus: Too scared to do the challenge but Terra and Aqua eventually coax him into playing 'hot and cold;' Terra starts steering him off course and Aqua shoots him a dirty look. Ven ends up so far from the cup that he just ends up murdering the table with the straw
Aqua: Has a mantra, meditates on the exact position of the cup. Terra and Ven move the it last second, but Aqua still somehow hits in dead in the center; the boys a very afraid.
Terra: Goes full force; just freaking decks the poor, plastic cup, watches in despair as his boba leaks all over the table. Aqua and Ven just sigh and go get the napkins
** Everything ends up on Ven's tiktok because he's trying to get more tiktok famous than Roxas

My friend who just got into Kingdom Hearts is convinced that Roxas is Sora's older brother, and I don't know how to prepare her for the world of pain she's in for.

Riku: There's something I need to tell you.
Kairi: Riku, you know I'll always be your friend no matter who you like. Being gay is perfectly normal, and sure, I wish it wasn't for my boyfriend of all people, but just know I still love and respect y-
Riku: I stole 200 munni from your wallet to pay for ethers last week.

Jane: Tarzan? Do you know where Sora is?
Tarzan: Ahuhahaha [Definitely the Reaper's Game. I mean, have you even played The World Ends With You?]
Jane: What was that?
Tarzan: Ohahunga [Sis, I know you know what I said. Don't you speak Gorilla? Do you have ears?]
Jane (to Riku and Kairi): Sorry, he says he doesn't know.
Tarzan: Umnah [I want a divorce.]
I bet Tarzan knows where Sora is.
