      Are the rest of Organisation 13 Xehnort? Cause Larxene says "but, could be worse. Become that old Geezers Heart Tank? No thanks"
      And Xigbar saying "me? I'm already half Xehnort" when Sora asks if he's scared of turning into somebody else

      My personal theory (-and you’ve probably all heard me say this before) -is that when young Xehanort met the MoM for the first time, he immediately realized what a threat and how dangerous the MoM was, and decided to ‘create’ an ideal champion to oppose him. He did this all while searching for clues that could let him figure out the MoM’s plot and angle. He started with Ventus, recognizing him as the most likely candidate, but when that didn’t work out he was left scrambling to try and prolong his life so he could continue his search. He loses hope for a while, but then Sora shows up and he realizes this is the ‘One’ he’s been waiting for, and decides to take a ‘hands off’ approach in cultivating him by setting himself up as an adversary for Sora to overcome. Him passing the X-blade over to him was him finally deeming the kid ready to take on the MoM…

    Kingdom Hearts is like Star Wars on crack, "no ones ever really gone" but like literally, even if you're a nobody you get a body and grow a heart. It's incredibly based and wholesome. I would bet a trillion dollars on xehanort coming back, it'll definitely be interesting.

    • @Flapalapagus
      @Flapalapagus 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      Nah I’d say it’s more like Zelda on crack.
      No one is ever fully gone, a timeline so complicated it breaks people, a princess who can actually fight(sheik/kairi).
      Only difference is that KH actually tries to connect everything together.

    The questioning of other peoples light makes me think the master set up multiple scapegoats to get the ideology through time. I feel like quadradum being a “otherworld” is a misdirection, it’s not for ordinary people but only keyblade welders that have committed taboos

  • @zabdieltorresmartnez5607
    @zabdieltorresmartnez5607 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +24

    I did wondered if he returns since in Dark Road he said he wanted 14 lifetimes. 13 for obvious reasons, and a 14th to "see the new world" so I guess the 14th life will not be exactly Xehanort, but someone who has "Xehanort" in them (?)

    I mean if Luxu/Xigbar is Still "Norted" & has a piece of Xaonort in him couldn't Young Xaonort still be time travaling to any future points that Xigbar/Luxu is at even past his own "death" ? I looked like Xigbar was mentoring him a bit in KH3 & Young Xeonort seemed to know a bit more of future events then even his older self did ?

      @Flapalapagus 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Who’s to say the eyes in Keyblades other than No Name don’t belong to different people?
      Luxu could have totally used his busted eye to form one of the keyblades.
      Though I’d say the eye in Vanitus’ Keyblade would likely belong to one of the Darkness’s from UnionX given that he continually calls himself darkness.

    • @Tiger_weirdo
      @Tiger_weirdo 13 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Possibly.
      But aren’t the yellow eyes the ‘eyes of darkness’?
      Keeping in mind Luxu i think has one of the true darknesses within him, maybe that’s why his eyes are still yellow.
      But you might be right, maybe Xehenort is around as in dark road he wanted to have 14 lives.

  • @DemiTrusdale3
    @DemiTrusdale3 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

    Do you suppose… that’s why young Xehanort acted the way he did?
    He had a role to play, and knew it, but he was young, and starting out, so he was hamming it up,

  • @Dawn_Epiphany
    @Dawn_Epiphany 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I'm glad you pointed out Master Xehanort being strange in ReMind, seeming to guide Sora to Quadratum. Was that his true goal all along? Is this what MoM wants as well? Young Xehanort has always seemed like he knows more than his old self, and ReMind Master Xehanort reminds me more of Young Xehanort than his KH3 Master Xehanort self. Did Quadratum Young Xehanort somehow connect to his KH3 self?

  • @swirlofsilliness
    @swirlofsilliness 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    Xehanort may have been the main antagonist of the first Saga of KH, but was he REALLY evil? Or perhaps... he sought to save the world from something. He just was doing it by the wrong means. The idea of him reutrning is very exciting to me, as it would show what kind of character he could've/is going to be on the side of "good".

    I'm not opposed to xehanort returning, and given how much he really knows, he has to. But I wonder since xehanort reverts to his younger form when he dies. Does that mean if he's dead in unreality, he'll look like that?....

    • @magicvalgirl
      @magicvalgirl 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Sora died in his KH3 form and reappeared in KH4 as an altered form of his KH3 design (as far as I'm aware from the 20th anniversary event). And Strelitzia died in UX and her KH4 form looks very similar. Since Xehanort died in his young form, that could explain his appearance in the finale art.

    • @magicvalgirl
      @magicvalgirl 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @WarriorKid_77 oh, okay! Yeah, I think Xehanort might appear as his young self again. Many Christian records explain how once somebody dies, they are young in the spirit world, and in the case of the Mormon records, resurrection makes your body young forever. So applying that into KH, Xehanort would most likely appear as his young self, IF we wishes to.

    Given his and Sora's connection, I've been thinking of what the poem for "KH 4" could be. I think these lyrics from the singer, Olivia Rodrigo, fit just perfectly:
    "But I'm in the trees, I'm in the breeze
    My footsteps on the ground
    You'll see my face in every place
    But you can't catch me now
    Through wading grass, the months will pass
    You'll feel it all around
    I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere
    But you can't catch me now
    No, you can't catch me now"

    A bit of a loophole I think xenanort might be using is the time travel one. Where you cannot remember your future. So what if it was not your future? What if you could get all your memory's from the future just through splitting yourself into another. As tha person would not be truly you so that could be it.
    It could even be as simple as quadratum gets rid of that blockage and young xenanort could be not reverted but the earliest xenanort time wise we meet

  • @thenobody7509
    @thenobody7509 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I think xehanort enitre existence is a paradox. Basically i beliece the xehanort we see in dark road is the last life of xehanort and the one who has most likely gone to unreality.

  • @kallyle6611
    @kallyle6611 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I thought of something similar to this: basically Kingdom Hearts itself punishes Xehanort by forcing him to teach Sora in Quadratum along with Eraqus being the dark master’s probation officer. That way, both masters can act as the Donald and Goofy of unreality.

  • @captainvalourous6668
    @captainvalourous6668 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Not gonna lie but I wanted both Xehanort and Eraqus to return as a some sort of Force Ghosts in KH4 to guide Sora, teaching him the powers of both Light and Darkness as well as granting him knowledge of what happened in the past because from a Narrative perspective this would give more time between Sora and Xehanort to interact in contrast in the previous games as well as Sora getting to know the Masters of his predecessor Ventus.

    If Xehanort does return in the future, then that would be fine I guess, just as long as there’s a good reason for it. At least Nomura still knows what he’s doing with the KH franchise unlike SOME people at Disney.

    Let's be honest. If Xehanort didn't mention wanting "one more life to see the new world", AKA a 14th life/incarnation, this theory might be an even harder pill to swallow than it is now. Just having knowledge of the true darknesses implies that his interaction with the MoM had opened his eyes to knowledge he didn't have before. A whole other series of events that precede his own as well as some context for the life of his caretaker while living on Destiny Islands. It's clear he had more in mind beyond what we saw, possibly as a means to atone.

    I think Subject X is Skuld. A keyblade wielder from the time of the Keyblade War, not to mention Isa and Lea say they met a girl at the castle who was being held there. I think the girl they met is Subject X. And Skuld is the only girl that was present in the aftermath of the Keyblade War. I also think Ephemer is Xehanort's great-great-grandfather.

  • @Khfan_98
    @Khfan_98 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Is it me, or does Apprentice Xehanort's instructions to Kairi almost sound like a direct quote? My guess is he received instructions/orders of some kind, which included parroting everything to Kairi; This "message" was likely from A) Strelitzia, who is currently residing in Quadratum, B) One of the future versions of Xehanort (possibly THE Xehanort from post-KH3 that we watched go to Keyblade Heaven or Quadratum?), C) this is unlikely, but maybe Skuld bc Apprentice Xehanort "knew" her well and somehow found out about this realm, or D) Nameless Star/Yozora bc I don't know🫠
    Edit: My suggestion about the euthanized Xehanort (from KH3) being an option is based on one of Nomura's latest illustrated artworks. This specific illustration depicts a Young Xehanort walking around in (what I assume to be) Quadratum with a modern-era umbrella; to me this insinuates that he now resides there. Also, at the end of KH3, before Xehanort and Eraqus flew up into the sky, they turned back into their youth forms... and knowing Nomura, THAT DETAIL MATTERS.
