Understanding the Boss Themes of Kingdom Hearts: A Musical Journey

Today, we're starting a new series analyzing the ways in which KH music is reused and how the meaning of each track evolves over time. Stop number one: multi-use boss themes.

_"You missed a song!"_ That was probably on purpose. I excluded songs made for original characters, even if they saw some interesting reuse ("Black Powder", "The Dread of Night", "Guardando nel buio") and songs that weren't made as boss themes but were reused for some later fights ("Night of Fate", "Fragments of Sorrow"). Maybe another time.
