During the journey, the group use their powers that come from their personas. Each of these characters gained their powers by accepting the dark side of their personalities. The results of this research found that these characters projects their dark side into a shadow version of themselves and some even creates a replica of their dark side. Eventually, these characters then accepted their dark side as a part of them and therefore were able to make a union between their conscious and unconscious realm in which they can find their true selves.
