The fact that such a strange and random machine in the world terminus could have such massive lore implications so many games later. Nomura remembering that there was machine in KH1: “oh yea, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PLOT DEVICE EVER NOW!!!!!!!”

At a point in the update, Darkness tells Maleficent that the "time traveling machine" for lack of a proper term, was originally meant for a different purpose. It was supposed to be a vessel for safe passage to alternate universes. Ultimately, the project was left unfinished and so Darkness suggested for Maleficent to use one of the pods to travel to the future instead. 7 pods... Did the M.o.M plan to take himself and his 6 apprentices to another world?

I like how Vanitas is protecting Ventus now by being the darkness inside his heart. Its like a big brother protecting his little bro.

“Perhaps a memory stolen from strelitzia” THAT IS GENIUS HOLY

Damo that was so quick. You and Everglow are a gift to this community. Can’t wait to see your next video or stream to throw theories around!

I personally imagine the ending to look like this: They are all about to leave in these time traveling “arks”. Miriam goes first with Elrena. Skuld is about to go but then Darkness takes over Ven. They quickly send Skuld off before she can react and fighting ensues. Ephemer, Brain, and player somehow release Darkness from Ven. They quickly throw Ven who is now in shock, and unconscious in the Ark and shoot him forward (this explains why they found him in his original state in BBS). Darkness is not done yet. He tries to transfer to Player or Ephemer and final battle ensues. Brain and Player/Ephemer are able to keep Darkness at bay, but the data world is collapsing/splitting. Ephemer sacrifices himself to keep darkness in the crashing data world, and Brain (and maybe the player) go into the fixed portion of the world where they live out their lives making descendants (Brain descending into Eraqus) Ephemer however is trapped in the collapsed data world (the light he was in in KH3.) and darkness somehow escaped him (dark inferno being part of him maybe.). This scenario also explains the age difference between Prisoner X (Skuld), Marluxia and Larxene, and Ventus, because they all time jumped at different times. That would be cool right? Edit: Idk what could happen to Player. But in my head, he either becomes a vessel for Darkness and uses an ark to escape, or goes with Brain and makes descendants (maybe sora?)

mr B I think he has paid the ultimate price. I think it happens when he pushes Xehanort towards darkness. Recognizing that he is a possible person to see his plan through. With altering the future to his own will he is sent to the Final World, where he finds himself in Tokyo. His plan to come back is through the power of the Foretellers and the black box. I think the black box/No Name could act as an intermediary and the Foretellers as ones that remember him. I think the black box may even contain the Verum Rex universe.

If "darkness" took control of the dark chirithy as the first vessel, could it be possible that for some time "darkness" looked like the player character? After all, the dark chirithy was bonded to the player character and Vanitas seemes to know exactly why he looked like he did in KH3. Strelitzia chirithy thought it saw our character, but the player character left the building and area. Just food for thought I guess.

I do wonder. If Sora is carrying around Darkness this whole time. Is that what gives him strength. I remember seeing an in depth theory in a kingdom hearts theory video that did a good job explaining it. I think went how their was Darkness that became self aware and distinguished what was and was not itself. Then Light was born. Darkness job was to hold and protect The Light. And the Lights job was to guide the Darkness. Kingdom Hearts was the result of their union. They both inhabit Kingdom Hearts as they can not exist without the other. People came into existence from Kingdom Hearts and they themselves had hearts. But from the Union of Light and Dark came choice which allowed evil to spread into the people who wanted to horde light for themselves. Darkness grew in peoples hearts that ran amok without the power of Kingdom Hearts to connect it to the light. Darkness had multiple forms that didn't acknowledge itself as such and fought. This caused the war for Kingdom Hearts and shattered it into the Pieces we know today. Now Darkness is seeking the Union of Light and wishes to destroy the realm of Light so they may be together again. I think it was getting at that M.O.M. is a Primordial Darkness, the kind that comes from lack of light rather than from resentment or hatred. And that He is seeking the light to return to him. Its that He is the personification of Darkness. And I think it was that Sora is a personification of Kingdom Hearts or rather the Champion that connected to it. Think back to the voiceless words you hear in KH 1 "The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes" I think that the Voiceless Entity was Kingdom Hearts talking to Sora and telling him what to do. And Sora has the ability to connect his heart to others. He then uses that connection that would against those that would abuse the light. That's what he means when he says "My Friends are my Power" because he literately connected to their hearts though the bonds he made and connected with Kingdom Hearts Power. It is willing Itself a Champion to protect it.

@@slateoffate9812 You forgot KH1 Shadow Heartless form, which was Sora's FIRST time to embrace/be consumed by Darkness. Given he was carrying around so many hearts at the time (Ven's and Kairi's and possibly Darkness's), it's kind of crazy to think about. It's also why he spawned something like three Nobodies - Roxas, Xion, Namine (sorta) - as well. Interesting thing is, there was/has been no real SORA Nobody. Sora's heart became the Shadow Heartless you play as for that part of the story, but his Roxas was a Nobody formed from Ven's heart's imprint on Sora, and Xion and Namine from Kairi's. As Kairi - and possibly Ven - had no Darkness in their hearts, they did not create Heartlesses (and Kairi's heart went back to her body anyway), but Sora did. Anti-Form, Rage Form, and Dark Form(Oblivion) I've come to see as evolutions of this same base thing where Sora's heart channels darkness, but with increasing levels of control. As a Shadow Heartless, he had no memory, and it's stated in KH1 he had no awareness of his actions (but you, the player do...what if "Darkness" is actually the Player? Would explain why you have knowledge of the cutscenes in KHUx with Darkness and Malificient...), and only sees Kairi's light, which guides him back AND restores his body (because magical Princess of Light magic). Anti-Form is what happens when Sora opens his heart to merge with one of his Friends, but too much darkness seeps in, corrupting the transformation (and since it sucks in both friend/party members' hearts for the duration, they don't know what's going on, and this is why they never talk about it or ask you about it or feel worried about it - as far as they're concerned, they were just part of Master Form or something for the duration....) This is also why Final Form in KH2, which is Ven/Roxas' hearts (because Roxas kinda sorta has one now) are playing defense and preventing the darkness from seeping in when Sora opens his heart for his companions to merge with him. It's why (in game mechanics) going into Final Form NEVER takes you into Anti-Form, and it always does -10 from the "chance to enter Anti-Form" counter in the game's code. Because it's Ven/Roxas protecting Sora's heart and shielding it. It is interesting to note that Rage Form is basically like Ichigo's "Hollow Ichigo" form in Bleach (which, as it turns out, is actually his true Zanpakuto...sort of...), in that it springs out whenever he's in critical danger to ensure he doesn't die, though as you point out, giving him far more control than his past incarnations of darkness did. I'm not sure about Dark Form yet myself. Oathkeeper and Oblivion have always had kind of a special place, and it's surely no coincidence that they're the forms of Roxas' Keyblades....

REALLY GOOD VIDEO. i was also thinking if the imposter was ven that perhaps vanitas, as darkness, was the culprit for strelitzia's murder without ven being aware he was being used. afterall, a peculiar detail about ven from the past is that he wields a reverse (darkness) keyblade and if his heart was "full of light" I find it odd the Missing Ache would be his keyblade of choice. the name can be read as kinda foreshadowing his future severance with a part of himself, or at least what he considers a part of him since vanitas doesnt agree theyre the same. I didnt think about our dark chirithy being severed from us as potentially having a connection to darkness and in turn vanitas. that part was the most fascinating since it all makes a lot of sense ESPECIALLY when you point out how it maybe connects sora's access to his anti/darkness forms are probably not a coincidence. on the topic of remind, tbh I wanna know what the wayfinder trio will find in the dark realm as they look for sora. its a place that uses your memories and fears against you, and im super curious to know if any khux events pop up for ventus down there that he will need to remember clearly in order to work through.

I really appreciate that :D Hopefully the next update comes out on the 30th

Now this is my added theory, but at the end of KH3 + DLC, we see that a chirithy in the world of sea and sky was waiting for "his friend to come back for him." Sora tells that Chirithy to come with him and Kairi, and that they'll take him to his friend. In the last cutscenes, we see Ventus and a Chirithy notice and embrace each other. What was it doing in the "after life world?" What if this chirithy was the darkness that was dispelled after Vanitas's death? Waiting to go back to his original vessel, of course. Basically, Sora might have just guided the old world's Darkness back to Ventus, back to it's perfect "pure and careless" vessel. What's interesting is that that a new cutscene shows Riku at the Land of Departure, giving a sendoff to Terra, Aqua, and Ventus as they set off to a new mission in the Dark Realm. I think that mission is to restore the fallen Disney worlds from KH: BBS. But since it is the Realm of Darkness, essentially the birthplace of all that is negative and dark, what kind of influence will it take on Ventus with his reacquired Chirithy? His reacquired Darkness? We may be seeing a scenario where Terra and Aqua may need to be saved from Ventus, and in return, need to destroy that "Darkness."

"On top of that, we also have two new teams working on different projects separate from Re Mind and Union χ[Cross], and one of those games is coming out earlier than you would think.

I'm so glad I found this channel to help me make sense of X.

I wonder what the impact on the MoM, Xigbar, and the foretellers are for “darkness” to be the ultimate antagonist here - does that mean they’re heroes? My guess is no - perhaps the MoM did know all of this would happen after all, with the book being written the way it is to end up being aligned with the “changes” attempted by Ava (ie - he wrote a fake book so Ava would be changing it to what he actually wanted) Is the timing of everything with their return to have MoM’s army all return in the present to fight darkness again? - just as he becomes unshackled from Vanitas and Ven? I just can’t see MOM as being totally a hero. Something like what YX said to him in remind about how cynical he has become with everyone actually being subject to darkness, leads me to believe the MoM will seek to destroy the worlds with light to defeat darkness. That would actually be a nice change up from what the series has done. Reminds me how I liked the original organization as not being light or darkness but “nothing” until they started changing them to darkness based enemies anyway - it’s a new attribute that’s outside the series normal light vs dark premise

everything you said makes so much sense! Honestly I cant picture the story moving any other way at this point. Which yes I know is a very bold statement to make about any semblance of Kingdom Hearts speculation

Not in this time. During KHUX Ven still has vanitus inside him. You could argue the darkness in him is stronger than the light during this time since when they first get separated vanitus is so much stronger to the point ven (the light) goes comatose and can't even function yet vanitus (the darkness) is perfectly fine

And they will, Ventus did nothing wrong, he is innocent, and Lauriam's gonna forgive him for sure. Ventus was too pure he was manipulated by an ancient evil, if there's someone to blame it was Darkness for forcing him, even without him knowing, into do that horrible act in the past. Darkness was the evil who should be away from our precious boy.

@@Godyy This would make sense as Vanitas laughed to Ventus's claim they were 'the same'. Meaning Vanitas is much older than Ventus and they aren't the same.

Love these videos. Subscribed.

.... Wow. I mean...that's the best word to describe all this. Pretty intense to think about Sora carrying that, Ven's armor shielding him, etc. That's crazy...

Holy crap wtf?? Anyone know when the next update comes out? Thanks so much for the video!!! It so nice you put in the hard work to analyze this complicated plot lol

Next important one is in March, and thanks for the support!

Really amazing video, you are a pillar of this community Just a slight criticism, I feel the music is a tad too loud, it overpowers you a bit

Glad I'm not alone in this way of thinking! MoM did say that not all of the leaders would make it out. I gotta think that Ephemer is the one that doesn't go but it could also be Ventus.

Great video, liking the theory. Though I’m curious as to what’ll happen to Daybreak Town. I’d love for there to be an “ending movie” that’s done for the last few scenes of Kingdom Hearts Union χ.

It's underwater, which has me curious as well to just what happened to it.

I Hope in 7 ARK is 1 ventus 2 lauriam 3 elrena 4 skuld 5 luxord (original name ludor) 6 demyx (original name myde) 7 Maleficent Is my top theory 7 ARK.

I love how they recapped the hidden room from world terminus in kh1 I never knew what it was I assumed it was where xehanort and the apprentices became heartless and nobodies

Oh wait I get it! So thats why Maleficent was able to come back in kh2 after the blue fairy said her name! Because by remembering her and acknowledging she exists Maleficent can travel there. Mind actually blown 😵

Darkness: im darkness and i killed strelitzia, didnt u saw the cutscene? Vanitas: What i am is Darkness hmmmmmmm

The theories in kh keep getting better!!!

So apparantly, darkness is The Doctor

I knew it! Venturs had so much darkness in him, enough to create vanita while Sora only had enough for a heartless. I have a feeling the MoM used one, hence why he faded.

Great video!

Enjoy the videos! Helps keep me in the loop since I'm so far behind in Union X. I think I'm only around mission 630? I need to play a whole lot more

This video is so crazy but also makes sense at the same time

It's what I do

This story is too confusing, and I don’t understand it. But I want to say what I think about something: I don’t think the Master of Masters is evil. Sure he may be the cause of all this, but I feel like he’s either some sort of necessary evil, he for some reason had to start the war and everything after it, or since he saw the future, he’s making sure everything goes the way he saw it, otherwise something bad will happen.

In KH3, the secret reports imply a greater darkness conquering the worlds and the current world-line is the only one that survives

So MoM is trying to reach a timeline in which darkness does not prevail?

@scottvgamer1163

Eight Kills One Move Sword-Master Maybe that or trying to CREATE a timeline where darkness doesn’t prevail. I like to think of him a bit like Doctor Strange (Marvel) and how he saw many outcomes in the battle against Thanos, and there was only one where they win. Again, this is just based off what I know, which is very little. I’ve never actually PLAYED any kingdom hearts games unless you count the demo for Dream Drop Distance.

@damo279 Seriously thanks for summarizing this story and all youre doing for the kingdom hearts community. I brushed off khux as some stupid mobile game that wasnt important to the story until I found your channel, and I would have never known how great and dark khux was if it wasnt for you. Keep up the great videos man, you are really appreciated

Super Gamer Lalo Actually, it’s lowercase.

Kingdom Hearts version of Vaati? SUBSCRIBED!

I CALLED IT!!!! I KNEW VENTUS WAS THE IMPOSTER BUT HE WASN'T AWARE OF IT BECAUSE DARKNESS MANIPULATED VEN'S PURE HEART!!! HOLY FUCK!!

nice explanations and details, your theory might prove to be correct for future KH series. Now Im just curious about the dynamic between Sora and Yozora, despite Yozora only briefly appears. in japanese version, while Sora and Yozora are written using katakana (ソラ and ヨゾラ), their names can be written as 空 and 夜空, meaning Sky and Night Sky. Coupled that with KH1 quote at the end of Yozora fight, I got a feeling that we would be using Yozora for KH4 instead of Sora

When it shows that one room is the same one from the end of KH1 it Re:Minded me to mention: Remember that building where Riku and Roxas fought in TWTNW? It is shaped like the hilt of the max lvl Starlight Keyblade.

@John Gray (OP) @​H'tess It's called Memory's Skyscraper, and I'm afraid I don't see it...

Oh shit, someone FINALLY talked about the Anti-Black Coat.

Its possible the Master of Masters pulling a avengers endagme Dr. Strange move and Is trying to lure out darkness and the conditions to kill him since he knows the future

What if the dark Chirithy is Darkness' Chirithy, and if Darkness is just the literal embodiment of darkness and by extension would be inside everyone's hearts, that would connect the Chirithy to everyone's hearts too and could be the meaning behind being 'our' Chirithy, because he's the Chirithy of the darkness in every heart. This would also explain why he went about collecting darkness from and turning to the darkness multiple wielders and not particularly us.

This shit is heavy. Brilliant video as usual.

Awesome video =)

I feel khUX leads to atleast 2 or 3 more sagas. The xehanort seeker of darkness saga, The lost masters saga, the ventus herald of darkness saga and the last keyblade war. Also "send other people through" . Bish now im curious. This is giving me bleach vibes, Hueco mundo anyone?

Omg I can't wait until the other updates 🥺🥺 I need to know what's happening 😭😭😭

this is a good recap!!! may i suggest lowering the volume/intensity of the bgm though? it's hard to track what you're saying

Some thoughts: Ephemur shows up in the ending of KH3’s Keyblade Graveyard but more as a spirit than anything else. I believe he probably is dead or a sleeping heart at this point. Luxord is most likely from Yozora’s world as it appears he is the driver in the ending of Limit Cut. The dream eater we meet in the land of sky and sea is supposedly Ventus’ dream eater which would mean its most likely the dark dream eater from KHUX.

one more thing in remind, the time sora enters vens heart he has to fight dark inferno who could be ephem's heartsless, i think skuld and ephem were both lab rats for ansem but he turned into a heartless and nobody but not skuld
