- DDD2 - an affectionate nickname used by SoRiku shippers from 2019-2022 to refer to the game being set up by Kingdom Hearts III's Secret Ending (later revealed to be Kingdom Hearts IV), based on how the Secret Ending repeatedly switches back and forth between Sora and Riku like the gameplay in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance (2012), combined with the camera angle in one shot making the pattern on the sidewalk resemble the emblem of the Spirit Dream Eaters introduced in that game.
- DtD => Door to Darkness
- DWU - Dual-Wielding Unknown
- Gayblade (1) - A derogatory name for Kairi's Keyblade,[1] which first appeared in Kingdom Hearts II. "Gay" was used as a pejorative (in the sense of offensive popular lingo before the 2010s) to refer to Kairi's Keyblade, which many fans derided as egregiously floral and girly in its design.
- Gayblade (2) - A humorous or affectionate term for the Combined Keyblade summoned by Sora and Riku in Dream Drop Distance and Kingdom Hearts III (2019). This Keyblade is formed by the union of Sora's Keyblade and Riku's Keyblade, has a partially rainbow color scheme, and has a paopu fruit (a symbol of eternal connection) as its keychain, leading fans to sincerely or jokingly view the Keyblade as a manifestation of Sora and Riku's romantic love for each other.
