the first memory that popped into mind is sora protecting kairi's heart from riku possessed by ansem ft. sora yeeting kairi's heart out of his body, but i feel like i'll have to ping dubsey for this because WOW is this probably info that riku would want to keep to himself uou i'll do that in a second!

i can tell you right now that sora does a lot of getting in between people and monsters to make sure they get away from danger but he really does not do a whole lot of actual flashy rescuing of ladies or damsels or girls or even, like, straight up people? even naminé's the one who ends up protecting him from riku and larxene i'm truly laughing holy shit

i'll keep looking but lord mercy i didn't actually expect this the MORE YOU KNOW
