While watching a video, I came across the quote:

> 違う！キングダムハーツはどんな闇も消し去ることのできる心―光なんだ！

For 'どんな闇も' I first thought of the literal translation 'also what kind of
darkness', but this made no sense in the context since it would add a question
in a declarative statement.

My second thought was 'any darkness' to give the translation:

> You're wrong! Kingdom Hearts is a heart that can erase any darkness. It's
> light!

However, I feel like this use of どんな+も with a regular noun is wrong.

question
grammar meaning
Meaning of どんな+Noun+も where the Noun isn't a WH word?
Your second thought is correct; どんな + noun + も can be used to mean "any" or
"any kind of".

> どんな誘惑にも負けません。  
>  I will not give in to any kind of temptation.

You can use it with both nouns and verbs (in -て form). A common expression
using this pattern with a verb is 「どんなことがあっても」, meaning "no matter what":

> どんなことがあってもあきらめない！  
>  I'm not going to give up no matter what!

I also think it is more common to see this pattern with -でも rather than just
-も.

> 安ければ、どんな携帯でもいい。  
>  Any phone is fine as long as it's cheap.
