Thoughts About The Meaning Behind The Title '358/2 Days'

[I]

OML, I can't believe I'm making a theory. I like, don't do this. Ever.

Anyways, so, in light of the release of the DS Kingdom Hearts 'sequel' name 358/2 Days, I started thinking. The game focuses on Roxas, and everyone knows that Sora was asleep for about a year (365 days), but we don't know if it was exactly a year (it could have been somewhat less days or so). The prologue at the beginning of KH2 was about two days long. We don't know really how long it took from the time that Sora lost his heart to the time that he was asleep in Castle Oblivion, so you could make a guesstimate and give it about two weeks.

That probably didn't make any sense, so let me clarify. What, if by any chance, the number 358 symbolises the amount of time that Roxas was 'alive' before Sora woke up at the end of the two days of the KH2 prologue? The title could also be read 'three-hundred fifty-eight over two days', which could mean that 358 days were 'explained' in a time of two days - during the prologue, you are made aware of pretty much everything that could have happened to Roxas during the time of his 'existence' in a span of two days.

I'm probably very much so wrong, but it was just something I thought of, and I wanted to see if any one else thought of this too. I'm sure this is the first theory I've submitted on this site in the year and four months since I've joined, so I'm somewhat 'new' at this.

Thoughts and/or criticism are wanted please.

maybe 358 means how many days he was in the organization. roxas that is

The prolouge was more than two days, and there alredy is a thread on the meaning of the name.

[Athel]

allow me to explain:


358 days is exactly 51 weeks. there are 52 weeks in a year. sora was asleep for 1 year. the roxas prologue in Kh2 was one week. coincedince? i think not.

Yeah, I realised that about five seconds after I hit 'post new thread'. This is what happens when you start typing before you really think.

i think that the 358 was when roxas was in org 13 the 2 is the time it took for him to escape and be captured and sent to the FAKE Twilight town the 5 left is when you play as roxas there and all of that = 1 year the time sora was asleep

I was wondering what it meant, then I read the first sentence and I respond to myself "I'm stupid". tx for pointing this out.

I think that that Roxas had been alive for 358 days before he was defeated by Riku and sent into the virtual Twilight Town. The prolouge took a week, I beleive. 358 + 7 = 365. A year.

i think that either yours or the power of pie's is right. nice thinking guys.

[O a t h keeper]

Its not my theory. I didn't think of it. But it does make sence.

[*~NeoAdamus~*]

i know i did this some time ago which was a little interesting

365-358=7x2=14

Days in Year subtract Roxas Time equals ATW and apprentices times 2 days equals Organization 13 plus the unknown 14th member

far fetched, but i thought it was kinda cool to think about

[khloser4life]

maybe there is no meaning. maybe nomura was bored so he threw in a random title to puzzle fans for amusement.:laugh:

358/2

358 was explained by PowerOfPie.

2 probably refers to Sora and Roxas, the two sides of the coin that is the main character of KH.
