Welcome to Gaia! ::

Because this pairing is a spoiler if you've never played KH2, I'll just white out the whole rant. This isn't mine, mind you; A friend of mine that doesn't use Gaia wanted me to spread the word. In other words, it's her idea, not mine. Though I do support it. Hopefully this won't count as a useless thread; I'm not trying to say "Oh this pairing is so cool, I love it!" I just want to get it out there to people and see what their opinions are. On that note, please be mature about your reply; There's no need for childish flames.



First off, I'm not a "fangirl", nor do I have a yaoi fandom. I didn't just see these two characters, witness the hug, and think, "Wow, those two should hook up!" It started, perhaps, with a comment on GameTalk about there being a romantic element in every world, except for Space Paranoids and Timeless River. (It's an arguable subject, but that's what they said.) Someone else said something along the lines of "Unless you count Tron hugging Sora in Space Paranoids." I laughed then, wondering what kind of a person would believe in that sort of thing. (I hadn't gone to Space Paranoids at that point)

After witnessing the scene, I began to think it over, and here's what I came up with:

Tron is pretty lonely down there in that computer. There are NO OTHER programs. He doesn't know about sexuality or anything, so he wouldn't find anything wrong with falling in love with a 15 yr old of the same gender. (If Tron has a gender) He probably has never SEEN a female. Seeing as he's so lonely and has no one else to care about, chances are he feels VERY strongly toward Sora. This becomes apparent when Tron embraces Sora after not even knowing him that long. (Or maybe he doesn't know about the limits of displaying your affection for a friend you've just met. razz ) Tron probably doesn't have testosterone or anything, so he wouldn't be attracted to any particular gender.

Of course, you may already find a couple of flaws in this. For one, Tron also befriended Donald and Goofy. But if you paid attention, you can clearly see that Tron has the most interaction with Sora, and the fact that Tron hugged him first implies that he feels strongest towards Sora. I'm sure that's only ONE of the flaws seen in my little rant here. Many people have said that Tron is "only a computer program". This means that EVERYTHING he does is just ones and zeroes. Zeroes and ones. The people who have said this to me are perhaps the most intelligent of those who disagree with me, and I congratulate the ones who look into it before saying "OMGz SorA luvs Kiari!! Ur GaY!!!11@LOLOLOLOLO!!!!!111". I agree. Tron is a computer program. He's something that is only made to seem human. And let me tell you, he's one good imitation. So here's my ramble for those who are against the pairing for that reason:

If Tron can care about Sora as a friend, he can be romantically attracted to him as well. Tron cared about Yori (his girlfriend) that way in the movie Tron... And we can only assume that even though Tron has a different (and Yori-less) history in KH2, he's still the same Tron. He has emotions. They may not be "real" (well, heck, artificial intelligence has only come so far!) but he can still feel, right? He's not an emotionless android, and is almost on the level of a User. (That's a big ALMOST, though)

Next comes my favorite part... Sora/Kairi. Yes, Kairi may very well be the love of Sora's life, and it's pretty apparent that Sora DOES love her to some extent. (Character-wise, for those of you who recognize them as only pixels on the screen and not characters. I can't tell you how many times I've heard "pixels on a screen can't love." The images may not, but the characters can... In a fictional sense.) But the question is not "Do you think Sora and Tron have feelings for one another?" Sora's reaction to the hug pretty much ruled out my thoughts of him ever having those feelings for Tron. The tickling scene later on was, perhaps, to make up for Sora's disappointing reaction to the hug. But it only showed Sora's affection for Tron as a FRIEND. So, I can't prove that Sora has feelings for Tron. That is an idea that will probably not exist beyond fandom. The only thing I can say on the matter is this... If Tron were to propose the idea of romance to Sora, chances are Sora would be far too kind and good-natured to turn him down, especially since Tron doesn't have many other friends. But I can't tell for sure, seeing as we've never seen Sora in a romantic situation other than him sort-of flirting with Namine in Chain of Memories.

So there's the logic behind Sora/Tron. Besides that, I think these two WOULD go well together. Just think about it. Sora has a lot to teach Tron, and Tron has quite a bit he could share with Sora. While Sora may not be as fit for Tron as he is for Kairi, they still would make quite a pair. smile



So there you have it. If you're interested, visit her site for the pairing.

I can see where you are going on this, and I must say I like this pairing. Maybe it's just the fact that I feel sorry for Tron and him being all by himself. I was actually disappointed in Sora's reaction when Tron hugged him. I mean it wasn't that weird right? Knowing me I probably wouldn't stop hugging Tron. xd

Just relaying more rantage for my friend, DarkMythril. This is in response to KiddtheAssassin's post.



You obviously haven't read any Sephiroth/Sora or Ariel/Riku fanfiction. XD



The hug and the tickling are not "proof" in any way, shape, or form. To me, the hug merely shows that Tron cares for Sora, and that he doesnt know the "boundries" Users such as ourselves have when it comes to hugging/touching... So who's to say Tron knows that we consider male/male relationships and the like "wrong"? He's a security program, he has no sex hormones, therefore he wouldn't have a sexuality or sexual orientation.



I'm glad that you can tell at least that much. =) Most people hit the Caps Lock key and flame away at me! Haha. No, it's not going to happen. I've said it many times on my site that the idea of a two-sided relationship wouldn't exist beyond fandom. I believe merely in the possibility of Tron having feelings for Sora, and I DO believe it is a possibility.



Ahhh... I happen to have a teenage friend who faced just that. What's to stop Sora? His fear of hurting Tron. My dear friend was so scared of hurting her he pretty much cried to me over IM and played a bit of a charade. Sora's even more sensitive than my friend (trust me, I know my friends!) and Tron is a closer friend to Sora than this girl was to my friend. Can you imagine how scared Sora would be? Anyways, thanks for taking the time to formulate an intelligent response, I appreciate it. If you have any further speculation, I suggest you read the "Comebacks" paragraph on the "Rants" section of my site. Don't worry, navigation is easy. =)

That doesn't mean he can't love.

I guess you've never seen/heard of/read Chobits, then? Well, let me give you a summary:

Chi = ROBOT
Hideki = HUMAN
Chi + Hideki = LOVE

Throughout the series you can steadily see Hideki and Chi falling in geniune love. Love as in the "Gush! Gush!" kind of love. And surprise! They can't have sex! But they still end up falling in love anyway.

Now, I'm not saying I'm PRO SoraxTron (because I'm not x.x), but logically it is possible.

And anyway, I'm not familiar with the Tron series at all, but doesn't he end up getting a girlfriend? Thus, Tron can love. And Sora, being human, can OBVIOUSLY love.

That's the thing about love; it transcends the regular norm. They're still people with human hearts and the cabability of intimate love. Very much unlike a DOG.
