I mean, lowkey he does. He's always second place and he has always been told he wasn't meant for anything. Also, Sora is struggling with his own darkness and I'm pretty sure the reason he's constantly smiling is to distract himself from his own struggles. All throughout Kingdom Hearts 1 we see Sora constantly asking like "hey, why tf you so happy we literally lost everyone and we can't find them" but Donald and Goofy keep reassuring him. In Kingdom Hearts 2 he felt useless and questioned what he was doing. We also saw a glimpse of his own darkness through Antiform. Re: Chain of Memories he was being emotionally manipulated and the only reason that hasn't stuck with him was because his memories of that place were forgotten. Then in DDD he succumbed to the darkness and failed his test. So I mean, I don't understand why everyone complains about him. He's only distracting himself through positivity and optimism.
Anyone think that the 7 guardians of light will be 7 versions of Sora in the same way the 13 darkness' are 13 versions of Xehanort? Sora, Kairi (heart rested with his), Roxas (gained his own heart from his conection with Sora), Xion (as previous), Lea (as previous, this is even shown in COM) Ventus (his heart rested with Sora's) and Riku (travelled to Sora's heart at end of DDD). Especially with Lea, as it could explain why he was able to wield a keyblade at the end of DDD.
"On that land shall Darkness prevail and the light expire. The future has already been written." It's already been hinted that the 13th Seekers of Darkness will win, but... "Who's to say I can't change it, and maybe light will prevail? You might be surprised." Even though Darkness "wins", Sora will still be the one to open the door as he is the chosen one. Meaning Xehanort may not be able to wield the X-Blade. The reason Vanitas could is because he was part Sora basically and that was an incomplete version of the X-Blade. Ultimately Sora could use his powers to destroy the X-Blade and what you said ends up happening could take place.
If this is true, then I wonder how this would connect to Union Cross and Marluxia's connection to Ventus. Personally, i believe Marluxia was trying to kill Ventus in CoM. The reason why i say that is because at the very end Marly orders Namine to destroy Sora's heart. Now i am lead to believe that Marluxia KNEW that Ventus was inside Sora. Could that have been apart of his plan all along? But here begs the question: WHY would Marluxia want to kill Ventus? Well, i think the answer may lie within KH4 where Marluxia's task had finally been accomplished. Because i think Marluxia will have a huge influence in the future titles. And if Strelitzia is the secret boss of KH3 then that'll make it even more likely.
Ventus is probably a part of MoM’s own plan for when Kingdom Hearts is finally unlocked. Whether a catalyst or means to keep it open. Who knows right now. But Marluxia obviously knows a lot and probably has retained all of his past memories or his will was so strong that desire to kill Ventus carried into his new existence as a nobody. But with the link to a Roxas I believe it’s possible they can share one vessel. Giving most of Ventus’ memory to Roxas (sounds messed up but it’s a small glimmer of hope for the preservation of Ventus’)
Well, this could serve the Dandelions' purpose. Because if Marluxia took a look in the future, he may want to prevent all that from happening. Or making sure the story isn't repeating itself. Which serves HMK's theory as well. Think about it, Marluxia never used a Keyblade as long as we know for now, though he was chosen to be a dandelion. He may simply has chosen not to use one. Especially knowing what it means to use one. About protecting kingdom hearts, about this keyblade war and stuff. The X-blade is part of Ventus' heart as he was the X-blade in Birth by sleep alongside with Vanitas, his dark self. So, if we line up the pieces together, Marluxia might think Ventus is still a X-blade part to awaken to make it whole again. By destroying Ventus, no more X-Blade as Xehanort worked really hard to make it in the first place. It might even be connected to some events before birth by sleep, about the dandelion, events we don't know about for now. Surrounding Ventus as well. As Ventus asked Terra & Aqua to end him in BBS, maybe he even asked for such a deal in Union X. A request Lauriam was willing to accept. I'm not sure I'm making myself clear here, but maybe, just maybe, Lauriam (Marluxia) is just trying to put an end to the "Keyblades" age. The purpose of his very own organisation. Preventing creation of the X-Blade, but also put an end to the Keyblade era, known for us as Xehanort saga. What do you think ?
@mlm very possible! This is also explains why Marluxia wanted to make Sora his own puppet rather than taking Sora's keyblade for himself. That being said, why would Marluxia get obsessed over obtaining his own keyblade? I think its more that he wanted to destroy the X-Blade specifically but not Keyblades overall.
@mlm also you saying that is making it remember another theory I made awhile back. Why did Lauriam kill Strelitzia? Well, I believe there is a hidden secret as to why he did so. The same can be said for Skuld. Yes, I am saying Lauriam will also "eventually" kill Skuld. Why would he need to kill her as well? Compare Skuld and Strelitzia. Don't they look familiar? Now lets look at another duo: Ventus and Vanitas. Remember, Vanitas only has Sora's face because Sora saved ventus. But if Sora never did that, Vanitas would have Ventus's face. I'm sure you've realized what I'm suggesting here. What if Skuld and Strelitzia are just like Ventus and Vanitas? Both were split into 2: 1 pure light and 1 pure darkness. This is why Marluxia killed them both. To prevent the 2 from forging the X-Blade.
Such sacrifice must be made. For the greater good. Not only the Kingdom Hearts characters will meet tragedy, but other heroes did the same thing. Like Link, who will face many hardships to face evil that threatens Hyrule, Desmond of Assassin's Creed gave his life to safe the world from the Apocalypse, and even Cloud and Squall (Leon) had suffered. Amazing theory, by the way.
I like this idea, but the thing with the Birth By Sleep X-Blade, it was made purely of Ventus's heart, since Vantius is part of Ventus, so shattering it also shattered his heart. While the theoretical X-Blade of KH3 would be made of the hearts of 20 different people, so while shattering it could still cause serious damage, it would be split among 20 people softening the blow, so they might not be comatose the way Ven was.
I would like the idea of letting them survive and Sora recreating the land of departure+ training new wielders. In the opening the new danger then comes and kills him, but the new protagonist survives the tragedy
I've been having these weird thoughts lately like is any of this for real or not Everything was just sora dreaming That why the ending will be hard to accept!!!!
Michael Json “A scattered dream that's like a far-off memory... a far-off memory that's like a scattered dream... I want to line the pieces up... yours and mine”
I think it will be far more likely that the world will fall to darkness and "reset" with the lights of children. It happened at least once, why wouldn't it happen again? The idea of the worlds "resetting" could lead to a Sora on Destiny Islands to having a "dream" of his adventure could lead to him either never being able to pursue this dream to see if it was real (which would definitely fall under a sad ending), or maybe an epilogue where he finds a way off and he meets Donald and Goofy under happier circumstances.
You know what'd be really crazy? What if after it "resets", it ends with an older Sora standing near the ocean while looking at the sunset and then he says "This world is just too small"?
That would definitely be an interesting theory. I mean we always talk about how Sora really doesn’t know what’s going on. How he needs to understand that multiple have suffered for him. Just imagine if that were a thing.
I feel like the way you described this would actually be a very cheerful ending. For me at least I would be like yes thank God Xehanort is dead we can go back to fighting maleficent or whoever and cool reviving your friends from a coma is basically a similar plot to finding your friends in scattered worlds so it would stay true to the theme and pave the way for sequels which is inevitable if this games makes a lot of money
If this theory is true, i wonder how it connects to Marluxia. Because Marluxia obviously does have some sort of connection to Ventus from what Union Cross has shown us.
interesting, but what if Sora kills Young Xehanort? therefore rewriting history. this in turn results in Sora never been born, or maybe 'God' decides to punish him, by sending him a pocket Dimension 'till the end of time', as it should impossible to change the past. The next 'Saga' could the survivors working on getting Sora back- which could lead a new protagonist, or a threat the arises in the new timeline.
TheRedking1992 here's how it goes if Sora kills young Xehanort. Aqua and Terra would've never met Ventus, Ventus would've died of old age (cuz of Union cross) Riku would've never gained the Keyblade since nothing happened, Sora would be irrelevant and Kairi also, Roxas and Xion would've never been born, Axel wouldve never turned back to Lea, and Organization 13 wouldn't be a thing.
One thing though... Sora's heart. It's connected to so many, and connects so many, there's literally so much light in Sora alone that it can never be put out.
The only problem i have with this is that I would want to see another or a new kingdom hearts protagonist in the game following 3. Possibly a new KH character or someone like Riku/Kairi/Lea to wake up the remaining characters.
This theory is a pretty good one. I could see that happening, and it would fit the grave warning that Tetsuya spoke of at the premiere event you went to. I'm extremely excited for this weekend and next week to see what news we get
Just watching this theory made my heart feel pain, and I cried for at least a few minutes. Good job HMK, you made many of us cry!!! But you did a great job on the video! Can’t wait to see your reactions soon!
Just beat KH2 on critical again to prep for 3’s release and in one of the secret endings (the one that teased Birth by Sleep) I noticed something that I hadn’t before. When Terra, Aqua, & Ven approach the crossroads Sora, Micky and Riku’s Keyblade are thrust into the ground and the 3 characters each pick one Keyblade up. Then we’re shown a Hazey figure approaching whom everyone believed to be Xehanort. However, if you look very closely you’ll notice that the figure is wearing what appears to be the outfit that the Organization wore. And with the release of X-Backcover we now know that the Master of Masters and his apprentice Luxu also wore the same outfit. With Nomura’s ominous statements, this leads me to believe the by the end of KH3 Sora, Mickey and Riku all become lost somehow after saving Aqua, Terra and Ven. Setting the stage for those 3 to finish their decades long struggle against Xehanort and Vanitas, AS WELL as the revelation that the Master of Masters and Luxu are both still alive in some form or another and are putting the finishing touches on their plan to create the TRUE Kingdom Hearts and make the world anew with a true balance between the light... and the dark. This will then kick off a new battle with the true mastermind that’s been pulling the strings behind the scenes from the beginning, starting a new Saga. Perhaps the Keyblade War Saga or something to that effect. Nomura as already stated that Kingdom Hearts 3 will be the end of the Seekers of Darkness Saga and the franchise will continue on beyond the end of KH3. Perhaps the good guys don’t win this time much like at the end of Dream Drop Distance, and fail to prevent Kingdom Hearts from opening thus unmaking all the worlds and creating anew.
honestly, to see any good character die will be hard for me to accept, but now that you brought casualties up, i’m officially sad and excited to play kh3, thanks hmk:,)
Plus, I think the Master of Masters will probably show up, or Luxu's box has something that will help the heroes of light. I mean, there will definitely be some kind of price, there always is, but I don't think they'll all die, or the KH equivalent. Maybe Kingdom Hearts is actually the sentience of the Keyblade itself, and when Xehanort gets it, it's both the light and dark in perfect harmony, and it obliterates him and restores the heroes to the Realm of Light, connecting Kingdom Hearts and the heroes together.
The one thing I want to know the most is; what happens to hearts that embrace twilight like Riku? Remember how apparently the worlds ended at least once before only to be restored by the hearts of children right? What if the children in question were not actually hearts of pure/mostly light as I am sure many of us assumed, but instead hearts of twilight and there is an unfortunate twist when they do this? I am thinking now that perhaps the tough ending to accept ... might be that a heart of twilight like Riku has to exchange his very existence to restore the worlds. I mean, they already have him dressed like a Final Fantasy character now, a heartbreaking ending for him like that just makes sense to me. Maybe the only trace of him that will be left will be the broken way to dawn left on the beach at the edge of the realm of darkness. Assuming of course, that any trace of him is left at all. Gosh darn it ... As a huge fan of Riku the idea that he could be the focal point of the ending tough to accept worries me. I would have such a love-hate relationship to an ending like that. Sure that ending would more or less be the same as the story end of the fighting game Blazblue central fiction, but the story in that game went to sh*t in the previous title and they didn't dub the game so I doubt anyone will care. Then again this is Nomura we're talking about, there is a good chance that the ending in question will be depressing to the point of stupid. What ever depressing ending we receive however, it had better be written well. I already had enough of a headache recently with that Avengers infinity war and its ending. I didn't hate the ending, I hated the steps toward it. I REALLY hope KH3 doesn't leave me with that same feeling.
More reasons for wishing that Caius appears in 3. The immortal guardian that despises destiny and guards the timeline in a game of a fated clash, with a time travel spin. It'd be cool.
I remember that tetsuya said something about ; the ending will have something implemented that he never used in a game before. If what he meant is storywise, a big sarcifice like the one that is mentioned in the video wouldn't happen cause a lot of his games already have this in it. Although it fits perfectly in the story !! I think something more crazy would happen, like what happened in final fantasy type 0 😥
If this is indeed a palpable theory, I don't know if my heart could take it...... It would be TOO MUCH. That would mean that Aqua will never be able to see Ventus again, even after she promised to wake him up.
Ryhder it wasn't a fake X- blade, it was an Incomplete one, since me ane Vanitas fought, it forged a small version of it, the true X-blade is made of 20 pieces, if these pieces fought it would make the true X-blade
Ventus Don't you find it weird that all the people who are connected to you and Terra happen to have pieces of your ex blade Sora the light side of the keyblade,Mickey the Darkside the keyblade, and the incomplete part in between Rick you had the key blade for the Twilight or the person in the middle that was incomplete that's just my theory.
I really like this theory but it seems a bit extreme to have *everyone* be comatose, while this would be a twist like Infinity War, I feel like having everyone be affected by this would lessen the emotion given and would be messy to solve given that who would be saved after and why. To have Sora be the only one 'awake' would only push his untouchable stasis and while I could see how and why this could work, it is really tragic but doesn't really end well in terms of story. I feel like having a major event like this happen, only to push Sora himself to try to save everyone by giving them fractions of his heart through his connections with them would parallel Xehanort nicely and having him either be lost in the aftermath of the war or comatose would give him full circle and show the likeness he and Xehanort share. To have Sora fall into despair, to stagger through a darkness-infested world (which would hold shards of all worlds throughout the series like the realm of darkness) and find his friends scattered throughout, fighting through Xehanort's taunts and threats as he gives piece after piece of his heart, getting weaker and weaker until he faces leaves himself near death. Heck, have it where Sora purposely merges his heart with Xehanort to create the X-blade and then attempts to trap them both inside forever and forcing Sora into a near comatose state until he friends/kingdom hearts' light saves him. This would make sense with your reasoning - Sora/Xehanort would wield the keyblade but never be able to use it or let others use it, making it useless. Young Xehanort did mention that Sora's heart was like "a prison, even if you are not the prisoner" and this would have a negative effect on both Sora and the final battle as a whole as Xehanort would have technically gotten his way; he would live to see the end of the war and what follows. Sora in the following saga would have to deal with the great darkness in his heart (opposite to the Dark Seeker Saga where he had Ventus, a great light) and possibly the involvement of light users who few him as a ticking bomb, a possible vessel for Xehanort should he overpower Sora and a threat they cannot change. To have his friends struggle bring order back to the worlds, to set up a new era for keyblade wielders as Sora deals with the consequences of the war. Of course, some will die but I feel like Sora will be the most affected after the war, especially with his connection to everyone putting a strain on his heart as he feels everything they feel.
After the recent trailer....literally anything is possible and nothing is sacred. This game will be intense. Plot twist: to avoid everyone’s hearts contributing to the X-blade, the Guardians of Light kill the Seekers and themselves.
I have a theory: [ I copied my earlier from another video] So, wait a minute.... Master Xehanort was from the Island the same as Riku and Sora. Xehanort discovered Ven. Xehanort also possessed Riku. Xehanort is very old. Nomura stated that the main character's parents will be within the game. So, you see where I'm going with this right... I believe that Kairi and Lea are siblings (both having red hair and being from Radiant Garden). I believe that Master Xehanort is Riku's father because they look very similar and had the same goal of leaving Destiny Islands. I also believe that Ven and Sora are brothers and that Master Xehanort simply kidnapped him from the Island (he brought him back there when he thought Ven was going to die.)
It’s definitely interesting. But my only hope is, if it does end like that, Nomura doesn’t make us wait to long for the next game because that ending will suck, but if Sora is going to be the only one to be able to help in the aftermath of the battle, I want them to be ok as soon as possible.
I think kingdom hearts 3 will be about bringing ventus back by give the part of sora's heart back to ventus aka roxas and ventus awaking to find his friends are all lost and sora and ventus working together to save there friends which will also help roxas become his own person like he wished back in kingdom hearts 2. I think the story will be like in kingdom hearts chain of memories and reverse rebirth where two stories are happening simultaneously, so either we play as sora and riku or sora and ventus. Sora will try to free terra from xehanort and ventus and riku try to find aqua. There might be a cutscene were lee sees ventus and asks if he has got it memorized with ventus realizing how long he has been asleep.
They already pulled a Harry Potter by having Xehanort split himself up into several pieces. Now, I expect they're going to go Infinity War and have the villains just all-out wreck the universe and win.
I hope something like this does happen (has heartbreaking it may be). It will tie the dark seekers' arc off in a nice bow and set the stage for future titles... that said, I hope stuff about Marluxia/Larium is addressed somehow as I find him to be the biggest mystery of the story thus far.
I have a theory about the chess board. I wonder if what young xehanort means is that he already knows how it will end and eraqous was just being optimistic. The chess board is all the players and their symbols, (of course), and nothing can stop the war and darkness winning.
Or Sora could simply not participate in the forging of the X-Blade. We have enough potential guardians of light to forge it without Sora. But from a literature standpoint I believe if Xehanort has a connection to Union X or KHX it would be poetic if Ventus and that person had been battling since the Age of Fairy tail and end together as well now. Seeing the kind boy from Union X who was looked down upon by Blaine to being the one to finally end it would be great.
You know, I thought of a terrible addition to this theory: In the new saga, Sora (the player) will have to choose who to save. Who will live. Who will die.
Its a great theory but i think a bit opposite. I feel like the x blade will forge and kingdom hearts will open completley bust sora will sacrifice himself to stop xeonort. Not necessarily destroying kingdom hearts but somehow locking it along with him and xeonort and other seekers of darkness.
my kind of end is: somehow everything back to how it should be. some how.... the kingdom heart spark/start the whole final fantasy universe and disney characters back to their own universe... or something like that ????
Lea/Axel = Dead by Sacrifice. Probably All the Xehanort clones but Xehanort will die. Aqua gon die and Terra will probably be shown as dead or something as that so that they reunite. Sora will probably go into Kingdom Hearts and be transported to a different universe or something of the sort b/c he is supposed to keep being the protag of Kingdom Hearts even after 3
Everyone said that Sora is going to open the door to light means Kingdom Hearts but in Xehanort secret reports says that if someone opens it become a higher existence and going to rule all worlds and people.... So i wonder how come Sora going to remain in the series and also as a protagonist?
To be honest I don't want anyone to die. Maybe they will fall into a coma and Sora can bring them back. Just no permanent deaths plz!!! These characters been through enough suffering. They don't deserve to die!
Goddamn thanos you didn't need to fade this universe too
The ultimate plot twist, when the villains keep saying you’ll lose and you actually do.
Jonathan Robinson birth by sleep all over again
Trevor Blisard Exactly lol
Jonathan Robinson sike
If this happens, Sora can probably start to have some deep character development
I hope so.
CherikoSol Finally.
at long last?
CherikoSol lmao only in ur wildest dreams
I mean, lowkey he does. He's always second place and he has always been told he wasn't meant for anything. Also, Sora is struggling with his own darkness and I'm pretty sure the reason he's constantly smiling is to distract himself from his own struggles.

I hate this, it's way too likely. I was already expecting a part of it but...
WHY VENTUS?!😭
Lauriam: Do you want to scream?
Jonathan Rivera I don't want it to be non of the three friends 😫 Terra aqua Ventus please don't die
X-blade + box+ kingdom hearts +ventus
Anyone think that the 7 guardians of light will be 7 versions of Sora in the same way the 13 darkness' are 13 versions of Xehanort?
Sora, Kairi (heart rested with his), Roxas (gained his own heart from his conection with Sora), Xion (as previous), Lea (as previous, this is even shown in COM) Ventus (his heart rested with Sora's) and Riku (travelled to Sora's heart at end of DDD).
Especially with Lea, as it could explain why he was able to wield a keyblade at the end of DDD.
Everyone is X e h a n o r t
Those who aren't are S o r a
Don't forget Mickey and Aqua.
Riku: Sora, i don't feel so good............
DetectiveSpiritOfBobbyFulbrightGamer this theory is pretty much Infinity War lmao
If this happens idk if i can take it hearing you say this made my chest hurt alittle
Imagine Aqua's reaction. ;(
Nazura95 Same man, omg
"On that land shall Darkness prevail and the light expire. The future has already been written."
It's already been hinted that the 13th Seekers of Darkness will win, but...
"Who's to say I can't change it, and maybe light will prevail? You might be surprised."
Even though Darkness "wins", Sora will still be the one to open the door as he is the chosen one. Meaning Xehanort may not be able to wield the X-Blade. The reason Vanitas could is because he was part Sora basically and that was an incomplete version of the X-Blade. Ultimately Sora could use his powers to destroy the X-Blade and what you said ends up happening could take place.

I’m excited to play KH3, I think the twist will be so unexpected and I think that’s why he said the ending will be hard to accept.
Hi grace xD
Yep, I got the tissues ready.....
I've had them ready for awhile.......
I got my Kleenex and sea salt ice cream ready.
WHAT IF... the prophecy is directly aimed at Sora’s Darkness being triumphant while his light expires? There’s something to make ya think about.
Luke You’re on to something. Sora’s anti-form in 2.5 reminded me of what you said.
Sumo 2300 Wasn’t the Anti-Form only because his Drive Suit derives from positive and negative meters?
I think so...I only thought of it because he changes into it.
Possible Xemnas asked him to be a darkness
MewStor I can see this as a possibility since he wants to bring Roxas back.
I've been having these weird thoughts lately like is any of this for real or not
Everything was just sora dreaming
That why the ending will be hard to accept!!!!
Michael Json “A scattered dream that's like a far-off memory... a far-off memory that's like a scattered dream... I want to line the pieces up... yours and mine”
I think it will be far more likely that the world will fall to darkness and "reset" with the lights of children. It happened at least once, why wouldn't it happen again? The idea of the worlds "resetting" could lead to a Sora on Destiny Islands to having a "dream" of his adventure could lead to him either never being able to pursue this dream to see if it was real (which would definitely fall under a sad ending), or maybe an epilogue where he finds a way off and he meets Donald and Goofy under happier circumstances.
You know what'd be really crazy? What if after it "resets", it ends with an older Sora standing near the ocean while looking at the sunset and then he says "This world is just too small"?
That would definitely be an interesting theory. I mean we always talk about how Sora really doesn’t know what’s going on. How he needs to understand that multiple have suffered for him. Just imagine if that were a thing.
Wait...if Ventus gives his remaining light to Sora, he would technically be like Xion and Roxas, and be a permanent part of Sora forever.
Damn bro that's heavy, no fair with that music in that background for extra feels, really solid theory though
Damn man, the saddest and scariest part about this theory, it seems like that could actually happen!
Also, I feel like it will be Roxas that sacrifices himself for Sora. Roxas will be the key. I think that is why he is so important to KH3.
I hope kh3 come with a box of tissues
RoxasDM thats what was in Luxu’s box the whole time
I feel like the way you described this would actually be a very cheerful ending. For me at least I would be like yes thank God Xehanort is dead we can go back to fighting maleficent or whoever and cool reviving your friends from a coma is basically a similar plot to finding your friends in scattered worlds so it would stay true to the theme and pave the way for sequels which is inevitable if this games makes a lot of money
That's beautiful, man. Such a dramatic, but wholseome ending (thoughg, you forget about the unpredcitable nature of DISNEY MAGIC)
"Ventus has lived an exceptionally long life"
Thats an understatement, the dude is literally hundreds of years old.
Literally just thought to myself I wanna see another hmk or kh theory and this shows up lol
If this theory is true, i wonder how it connects to Marluxia. Because Marluxia obviously does have some sort of connection to Ventus from what Union Cross has shown us.
interesting, but what if Sora kills Young Xehanort? therefore rewriting history. this in turn results in Sora never been born, or maybe 'God' decides to punish him, by sending him a pocket Dimension 'till the end of time', as it should impossible to change the past. The next 'Saga' could the survivors working on getting Sora back- which could lead a new protagonist, or a threat the arises in the new timeline.
TheRedking1992 here's how it goes if Sora kills young Xehanort. Aqua and Terra would've never met Ventus, Ventus would've died of old age (cuz of Union cross) Riku would've never gained the Keyblade since nothing happened, Sora would be irrelevant and Kairi also, Roxas and Xion would've never been born, Axel wouldve never turned back to Lea, and Organization 13 wouldn't be a thing.
Wow you're gonna kill me off of all people? ._.
John Gray welp... Sora, you owe me.
Ventus Gaming why does ur name say ventus gaming yet ur pfp is of Roxas
Did stop the acting crap your not the real ventus
I hope not, because you're my baby boi!
I'm honestly thinking Kh3 may pull a jojo part 6 ending lol.
Slobertooth 13 Bruh

Raynin The Universe resets and all the characters we know have an alternate version of themselves
Hmm, then the Way to Dawn may end up in the hands of this other Riku...
Raynin The universe resets and everybody dies.
One thing though... Sora's heart. It's connected to so many, and connects so many, there's literally so much light in Sora alone that it can never be put out.
And then Sora will have to fight the Master of Masters .
The only problem i have with this is that I would want to see another or a new kingdom hearts protagonist in the game following 3. Possibly a new KH character or someone like Riku/Kairi/Lea to wake up the remaining characters.
Its been confirmed that it won't happen though. Sora will be the protagonist of the next game.
DetectiveSpiritOfBobbyFulbrightGamer I don’t know, it’d be nice if we had another protagonist.
I do not see anything wrong with having Sora team up with a brand new protagonist and work together to wake everyone up.
Manga Games Brad sora was confirmed as the main protagonist in late kingdom hearts games
Manga Games Brad sora will always be the protagonist
1:09 - Specifically, he said the ending might be difficult to grasp. In other words, it might shock people.
This theory is a pretty good one. I could see that happening, and it would fit the grave warning that Tetsuya spoke of at the premiere event you went to. I'm extremely excited for this weekend and next week to see what news we get
Just watching this theory made my heart feel pain, and I cried for at least a few minutes. Good job HMK, you made many of us cry!!! But you did a great job on the video! Can’t wait to see your reactions soon!
I don’t like this theory 🤕it’s way too devastating 😓
Just beat KH2 on critical again to prep for 3’s release and in one of the secret endings (the one that teased Birth by Sleep) I noticed something that I hadn’t before. When Terra, Aqua, & Ven approach the crossroads Sora, Micky and Riku’s Keyblade are thrust into the ground and the 3 characters each pick one Keyblade up. Then we’re shown a Hazey figure approaching whom everyone believed to be Xehanort.
However, if you look very closely you’ll notice that the figure is wearing what appears to be the outfit that the Organization wore. And with the release of X-Backcover we now know that the Master of Masters and his apprentice Luxu also wore the same outfit. With Nomura’s ominous statements, this leads me to believe the by the end of KH3 Sora, Mickey and Riku all become lost somehow after saving Aqua, Terra and Ven. Setting the stage for those 3 to finish their decades long struggle against Xehanort and Vanitas, AS WELL as the revelation that the Master of Masters and Luxu are both still alive in some form or another and are putting the finishing touches on their plan to create the TRUE Kingdom Hearts and make the world anew with a true balance between the light... and the dark.
This will then kick off a new battle with the true mastermind that’s been pulling the strings behind the scenes from the beginning, starting a new Saga. Perhaps the Keyblade War Saga or something to that effect.
Nomura as already stated that Kingdom Hearts 3 will be the end of the Seekers of Darkness Saga and the franchise will continue on beyond the end of KH3. Perhaps the good guys don’t win this time much like at the end of Dream Drop Distance, and fail to prevent Kingdom Hearts from opening thus unmaking all the worlds and creating anew.
honestly, to see any good character die will be hard for me to accept, but now that you brought casualties up, i’m officially sad and excited to play kh3, thanks hmk:,)
What if sora gives his life so that he can bring back ventus, roxas and maybe Xion
Can someone tell me the name of the song that plays throughout the video? I know it comes from KH but I can't pin which game.
Destiny's Union ~ Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
"I hope that you enjoyed it"
Yeah, I really enjoyed you telling me that all the characters we love will either fall asleep or die
Plus, I think the Master of Masters will probably show up, or Luxu's box has something that will help the heroes of light. I mean, there will definitely be some kind of price, there always is, but I don't think they'll all die, or the KH equivalent. Maybe Kingdom Hearts is actually the sentience of the Keyblade itself, and when Xehanort gets it, it's both the light and dark in perfect harmony, and it obliterates him and restores the heroes to the Realm of Light, connecting Kingdom Hearts and the heroes together.
I subscribed to you back in 2014 for your amazing theories. Wonderful work as always. This ending woud truly be devastating.
The one thing I want to know the most is; what happens to hearts that embrace twilight like Riku? Remember how apparently the worlds ended at least once before only to be restored by the hearts of children right? What if the children in question were not actually hearts of pure/mostly light as I am sure many of us assumed, but instead hearts of twilight and there is an unfortunate twist when they do this? I am thinking now that perhaps the tough ending to accept ... might be that a heart of twilight like Riku has to exchange his very existence to restore the worlds. I mean, they already have him dressed like a Final Fantasy character now, a heartbreaking ending for him like that just makes sense to me. Maybe the only trace of him that will be left will be the broken way to dawn left on the beach at the edge of the realm of darkness. Assuming of course, that any trace of him is left at all. Gosh darn it ... As a huge fan of Riku the idea that he could be the focal point of the ending tough to accept worries me. I would have such a love-hate relationship to an ending like that.
Sure that ending would more or less be the same as the story end of the fighting game Blazblue central fiction, but the story in that game went to sh*t in the previous title and they didn't dub the game so I doubt anyone will care.
Then again this is Nomura we're talking about, there is a good chance that the ending in question will be depressing to the point of stupid. What ever depressing ending we receive however, it had better be written well. I already had enough of a headache recently with that Avengers infinity war and its ending. I didn't hate the ending, I hated the steps toward it. I REALLY hope KH3 doesn't leave me with that same feeling.
That intro though... “whose to say I can’t change it? And maybe light will prevail.”
The ending of KH3 scares me every time I think what will happen.....
More reasons for wishing that Caius appears in 3. The immortal guardian that despises destiny and guards the timeline in a game of a fated clash, with a time travel spin. It'd be cool.
I remember that tetsuya said something about ; the ending will have something implemented that he never used in a game before. If what he meant is storywise, a big sarcifice like the one that is mentioned in the video wouldn't happen cause a lot of his games already have this in it. Although it fits perfectly in the story !!
I think something more crazy would happen, like what happened in final fantasy type 0 😥
If this is indeed a palpable theory, I don't know if my heart could take it...... It would be TOO MUCH. That would mean that Aqua will never be able to see Ventus again, even after she promised to wake him up.
Looking back at the clock, it says 3:00. 3-12=9. IF ITS COMING OUT IN SEPTEMBER IM GOING TO CRY AT THE GENIUS THAT IS NOMURA AND YASUE
Do you think the x-blade will look the same as the fake one in BBS?
Ryhder it wasn't a fake X- blade, it was an Incomplete one, since me ane Vanitas fought, it forged a small version of it, the true X-blade is made of 20 pieces, if these pieces fought it would make the true X-blade
Ventus
Don't you find it weird that all the people who are connected to you and Terra happen to have pieces of your ex blade Sora the light side of the keyblade,Mickey the Darkside the keyblade, and the incomplete part in between Rick you had the key blade for the Twilight or the person in the middle that was incomplete that's just my theory.
the narrator there's a point.. but my X-blade was only an incomplete version. The true version is unknown to us.
DUDE I’M CRYING SO HARD RIGHT NOW. If this happens my sister will be crushed...
I really like this theory but it seems a bit extreme to have *everyone* be comatose, while this would be a twist like Infinity War, I feel like having everyone be affected by this would lessen the emotion given and would be messy to solve given that who would be saved after and why. To have Sora be the only one 'awake' would only push his untouchable stasis and while I could see how and why this could work, it is really tragic but doesn't really end well in terms of story. I feel like having a major event like this happen, only to push Sora himself to try to save everyone by giving them fractions of his heart through his connections with them would parallel Xehanort nicely and having him either be lost in the aftermath of the war or comatose would give him full circle and show the likeness he and Xehanort share.
To have Sora fall into despair, to stagger through a darkness-infested world (which would hold shards of all worlds throughout the series like the realm of darkness) and find his friends scattered throughout, fighting through Xehanort's taunts and threats as he gives piece after piece of his heart, getting weaker and weaker until he faces leaves himself near death.
Heck, have it where Sora purposely merges his heart with Xehanort to create the X-blade and then attempts to trap them both inside forever and forcing Sora into a near comatose state until he friends/kingdom hearts' light saves him. This would make sense with your reasoning - Sora/Xehanort would wield the keyblade but never be able to use it or let others use it, making it useless. Young Xehanort did mention that Sora's heart was like "a prison, even if you are not the prisoner" and this would have a negative effect on both Sora and the final battle as a whole as Xehanort would have technically gotten his way; he would live to see the end of the war and what follows. Sora in the following saga would have to deal with the great darkness in his heart (opposite to the Dark Seeker Saga where he had Ventus, a great light) and possibly the involvement of light users who few him as a ticking bomb, a possible vessel for Xehanort should he overpower Sora and a threat they cannot change. To have his friends struggle bring order back to the worlds, to set up a new era for keyblade wielders as Sora deals with the consequences of the war.
Of course, some will die but I feel like Sora will be the most affected after the war, especially with his connection to everyone putting a strain on his heart as he feels everything they feel.
Wait if henaroth and keyblades must be destroyed but one who made those weapons The Master of masters will be next villian.
I’m not crying! 😢
I'm usually not big on your theories but this is beautifully poetic. I hope it takes place to some extent
After the recent trailer....literally anything is possible and nothing is sacred. This game will be intense.
Plot twist: to avoid everyone’s hearts contributing to the X-blade, the Guardians of Light kill the Seekers and themselves.
That would be an excellent ending for the Dark Seeker Saga.
I have a theory: [ I copied my earlier from another video]
So, wait a minute.... Master Xehanort was from the Island the same as Riku and Sora. Xehanort discovered Ven. Xehanort also possessed Riku. Xehanort is very old. Nomura stated that the main character's parents will be within the game. So, you see where I'm going with this right...
I believe that Kairi and Lea are siblings (both having red hair and being from Radiant Garden). I believe that Master Xehanort is Riku's father because they look very similar and had the same goal of leaving Destiny Islands. I also believe that Ven and Sora are brothers and that Master Xehanort simply kidnapped him from the Island (he brought him back there when he thought Ven was going to die.)
It’s definitely interesting. But my only hope is, if it does end like that, Nomura doesn’t make us wait to long for the next game because that ending will suck, but if Sora is going to be the only one to be able to help in the aftermath of the battle, I want them to be ok as soon as possible.
I think kingdom hearts 3 will be about bringing ventus back by give the part of sora's heart back to ventus aka roxas and ventus awaking to find his friends are all lost and sora and ventus working together to save there friends which will also help roxas become his own person like he wished back in kingdom hearts 2. I think the story will be like in kingdom hearts chain of memories and reverse rebirth where two stories are happening simultaneously, so either we play as sora and riku or sora and ventus. Sora will try to free terra from xehanort and ventus and riku try to find aqua. There might be a cutscene were lee sees ventus and asks if he has got it memorized with ventus realizing how long he has been asleep.
I hope there is an ending that means something and also provides closure, not something cliché. I expect something great from KH3 and Nomura.
They already pulled a Harry Potter by having Xehanort split himself up into several pieces.
Now, I expect they're going to go Infinity War and have the villains just all-out wreck the universe and win.
I hope something like this does happen (has heartbreaking it may be). It will tie the dark seekers' arc off in a nice bow and set the stage for future titles... that said, I hope stuff about Marluxia/Larium is addressed somehow as I find him to be the biggest mystery of the story thus far.
Oh my God !😭 This theory seems to be possible 😓😢 !
I'm really surprised by this deep analysis !
Great Job ! ❤
HMK quick question, will you be at the orchestra concert in LA?
Sora Blade thanks, fingers crossed 😬
He is. Orchestra then E3
Venxik thanks!
Or Sora just wakes up and realizes it WAS ALL A DREAM. That or his Mom just grounds him for never coming home for dinner.
I have a theory about the chess board. I wonder if what young xehanort means is that he already knows how it will end and eraqous was just being optimistic. The chess board is all the players and their symbols, (of course), and nothing can stop the war and darkness winning.
They just gave me an ad for Utada Hikaru's KH3 Theme song Oath (Chikai). That had to be a coincident.
We should have an ending theory based on “darkness prevailing and light expiring.” What happens next if darkness really does prevail?
The ending: everybody is trapped in the realm of darkness after we killed Xehanort permanently
This was a GREAT video dude, keep up this kind of stuff please and thanks!
Honestly this theory sounds amazing. Sets up a great plot for future games to come
this theory makes me wanna cry. Ventus is my favorite character.
Or Sora could simply not participate in the forging of the X-Blade. We have enough potential guardians of light to forge it without Sora. But from a literature standpoint I believe if Xehanort has a connection to Union X or KHX it would be poetic if Ventus and that person had been battling since the Age of Fairy tail and end together as well now. Seeing the kind boy from Union X who was looked down upon by Blaine to being the one to finally end it would be great.
Your theories are always so thought provoking and deep. Thanks HMK 🙏🙏🙏
It's the first video I ve saw of this channel, that mansex's voice absolutely took my like and subscription.
Oh man this is basically reminding me of the end of evangelion. Freaky stuff
But regardless, I'm excited and afraid of what will happen
Interesting theory HMK. I'll be looking forward to finally play KH3
One battle doesn’t make a war.
1 year later...
Kairi is the only casualty and Sora essentially trades his life for hers...
HMK: Really?
You know, I thought of a terrible addition to this theory: In the new saga, Sora (the player) will have to choose who to save. Who will live. Who will die.
Ven is my No. 1 😭. If he dies, i will accept it... But it will burn my heart with his! Oh lord!!!
Name of song?
Its a great theory but i think a bit opposite. I feel like the x blade will forge and kingdom hearts will open completley bust sora will sacrifice himself to stop xeonort. Not necessarily destroying kingdom hearts but somehow locking it along with him and xeonort and other seekers of darkness.
my kind of end is: somehow everything back to how it should be. some how.... the kingdom heart spark/start the whole final fantasy universe and disney characters back to their own universe... or something like that ????
Fam that's a really good theory a really good theory good job HMK
This hurts. This hurts a lot... **cries in the corner**
I hate how much this makes sense😫
This made me cry if this does happen I won't be able to handle it.
I feel like Sora will die, but reincarnate into a new body if his plot armor breaks and that’s how the story will continue.
Lea/Axel = Dead by Sacrifice. Probably All the Xehanort clones but Xehanort will die. Aqua gon die and Terra will probably be shown as dead or something as that so that they reunite. Sora will probably go into Kingdom Hearts and be transported to a different universe or something of the sort b/c he is supposed to keep being the protag of Kingdom Hearts even after 3
Now that we've seen Aquanort, I think she might be the sacrifice...
i got the new Riku action figure and the spare head that came with it looks if Riku is asleep or in a coma so hope Riku will be okay
Everyone said that Sora is going to open the door to light means Kingdom Hearts but in Xehanort secret reports says that if someone opens it become a higher existence and going to rule all worlds and people.... So i wonder how come Sora going to remain in the series and also as a protagonist?
can xion come back if something happens to sora or roxas or if one of the 7 keepers of light can't fight
To be honest I don't want anyone to die. Maybe they will fall into a coma and Sora can bring them back. Just no permanent deaths plz!!! These characters been through enough suffering. They don't deserve to die!
That sounds like a good theory very plausible.
I honestly hope this doesn't happen, because then I'd have been spoiled.
Lol Ventus is my favorite kingdom hearts character, and if this happens, i will stop liking characters cause they will die in the end.
