[@spakel9196]

Xigbar/Luxus plot twist was superbly handled in my opinion, so much build up even in character bios . For example In kh2 it references how he has his own agenda. I still don't believe nomura planned this out 100%, but he always wanted good ol' xiggy to have a bigger role, and he did a fine job. Another notable thing being he was the one who recruited Marly to the org, who'd he'd absolutely be aware of. So you win this round nomura

Also, I think it is interesting to note that in KHII:FM Xigbar says he found and recruited Marluxia/Lauriam. In fact, the entire conversation he has with Zexion is interesting now. He really is always watching. And there is a tiny moment in 358/2 Days that didn’t make the movie cut where Xigbar is listening in on a conversation between Xion and Axel in which Xion finds a boy who looks just like Roxas in Castle Oblivion (aka Ventus).

Hang on: "The old coot promised to bequeath me his. Why else do you think I would ever put up with his nonsense?" I'd figure this is a reference to Master Xehanort and how he got Braig on his side in BBS- promising to give him No Name/Gazing Eye when his plan succeeded. But now we know Xigbar is Luxu... is he also referring to his role given by MoM? Also, when the Master says "Just watch with your own eyes- and my eye, of course- as things unfold between the others.": makes me wonder if there's another reason to Braig losing his eye in BBS. Seriously, what if there's a Gazing Eye under Xigbar's eyepatch?

[@saddboye1568]

GoDoFcRaP42 What if the Gazing Eye was removed from the No Name and Braig put the real Eye where his old eye was, and the Master of Masters didn’t see the “greater darkness” in the future because Braig covered the gazing eye with the eyepatch?!

[@mac_sour]

@@saddboye1568 That's an extremely good theory, and honestly I won't be surprised if that's actually the case.

[@someoneyoudontknow3257]

Xigbar told the other founders that he had been body hopping over the centuries. He probably gave xehanort the keyblade and then transferred to the body he has as Braig somewhere later down the line.

[@53prime]

There is a theory that Braig is still somewhat conscious while Luxu controls his body in a similar way that Terra is still conscious to an extent while Xehanort is controlling his body, and it's actually Braig speaking that line about Luxu. Which would be somewhat interesting if it holds any water.

I always found it interesting that the book of prophecies even existing in the first place was proof Luxu succeeded in his role. No matter what he did, he was always guaranteed to be successful. And I love how that made him so cocky too.

[@shadelol7279]

I actually checked and saw that the model for ventus in kh ux doesnt have the icon the bbs trio shares, while in days, xion/ventus form has one so... ya Also, the fact that xigbar was promised to be bequeathed a keyblade was his plot point in bbs. Thats the reason he fake fighted terra and risked his life.

[@BobbyTheGamerOfJUSTICE]

Him possessing other people’s bodies does go along with his reaction towards Xehanort too. He was pissed that Xehanort caused him to lose his eye so he tried to attack him out of anger. This type of behavior can be compared to when a person gets pissed when their car gets wrecked by someone else, especially if it was a brand new car. Luxu likely just got a new body (that being Braig’s) so he was pissed Xehanort caused it to be damaged.

[@anthonygetdat]

He fake *fought

[@housinengi9512]

and think about this Xigbar wasnt even scared of ventus in khbbs all he said was he had the look of i killed your gold fish yet when that line comes up hes upset and made at that look

[@Rex13013]

Shade Lol The game came out before bbs so the designs weren't finalized. You guys are looking way too into this. It's a retcon and a bad one at that, everything regarding Xehanort was at least hinted on, Xigbar talking others and seeing Ventus was hinting at bbs, Xehanort body possession and Xigbar's eye changing from brown to yellow hinted on on why Saix had yellow eyes in kh2 and days and why he wasn't acting friendly toward Axel in days and it made sense when they both came back in dream drop, and even nobodies growing hearts was hinted in days. But Kh3 just threw all of that out the window, and I can give 2 example that proof Nomura didn't plan this out, first is Xemnas in dream drop saying most of the original organization members weren't fit for the new one because weakness of body, will and trust which pretty much covers everyone who isn't norted like Saix and Xigbar. And the 2nd one that Braig's eyes were brown originally plus let himself be norted and be at the mercy of Xehanort, not that being norted means shit anyways, in kh3 I mean, in dream drop Xigbar said it was scary how Xehanort could see into his mind so his plans was being carried out even though he wasn't even "alive" and Saix was a complete zombie but kh3 even though everyone is norted everyone just did whatever they want even betrayed Xehanort and he let them which was retarded and goes against what was established, Xehanort should've seen all this coming. I love Xigbar and he is my 2nd org member after Xemnas but that plot twist bullshit on top of all the bullshit kh3 threw at us.

[@blazingwolf9044]

Gps1337 I completely agree, there's no way Nomura planned all of this

Plot twist: in Days, when he tells Xion he mentions seeing "her" face, and asks why she's "gotta glare like that". He's not talking about Aqua, he's talking about Ava.

[@Firestar1992]

Whenever I saw the Xigbar death scene after seeing the epilogue, I realized that the "old coot" he was referring to was not, in fact, Xehanort as we and Sora and Riku were led to believe. Rather, he was talking about MoM. And that also makes the line, "Why else would I put up with all his nonsense?" fit even more considering MoM's personality.

I like how out of everybody's character designs, Braig/Xigbar is the only one missing an eye. A the Master of Masters had also used one of his eyes on No Name. Maybe Xigbar is following in the footsteps of the Master of Masters, or there is something afoot. Xigbar is the type of person to play his cards under the table, with his back against the wall, and lie to play others like a fiddle.

[@Dreq458]

as for xigbar's theme I think it was remixed to create a sense of danger. you know, for atmospheric reasons. roxas' theme has been changed several times to create different moods. at the end of the day, it was a good catch regardless. I can neither confirm nor deny this point.

[@13KuriMaster]

For the scene right before his KH2 boss fight, the Luxu reveal also makes one more thing there make since. If he was solely on Xeanort's plan, why bother eliminating those heartless stockpiling Sora? Either Sora kills them and Kingdom hearts gets more complete, or they strike down Sora and they have one less pain in the neck. Now that we have a clue as to what his own agenda was and that he likely needed to Sora up and still around for it (maybe to eliminate Xeanort), him taking out the heartless and then "fighting" Sora (really just putting on a show to make it seem more believable that he wants to get rid of Sora), makes a bit more since.

[@xwaytothedawnx]

[@renmorre6015]

I wonder when Xigbar called Sora "Traitor" that it was also double meaning..? Of course, thinking about it would lead to Xigbar calling out Roxas' betrayal to the Organization...but what if Xigbar was speaking deeper than that? The people in Sora's heart that we know of are Ventus and Roxas. Xigbar is of course known to call out names 'outside their frames' due to underlying meaning, so what if there is another person in Sora's heart that is from the KHuX age? Just a thought, I don't know if it could be applicable, lol.

[@WildcatDiana]

I think Ventus being inside Sora's heart is a clue to the Master's plan rather than a sign that he is the traitor. Rewatching the series got me thinking how would Luxu know that Sora was the right boy to manipulate to send to Shibuya? Well, if he saw a Nobody that looked like one of the Union Leaders instead of the original form, that would be a huge clue. I think, because of the "traitor that bears the sigil" thing, he thought that Skuld was the traitor, if she is Subject X, or even Luxord, that is number X in the organization.

Well ventus wass a union leader the way story goes union leader seem to say fuck it and trow a wrench in MoMs plan so in luxu pov the woudnt be all traitors?

[@VGInterviews]

I think the links to chi are a bit of a stretch (over both of your videos) while yes Luxu could've known about Lauriam and that is why he chose Marluxia, I don't think he had any connection to Ventus before BBS (until it is explicitely shown in future UX updates) since Luxu's role was to just observe the world, probably at the very least until the first keyblade war and until he finds someone suitable to inherit MoM's keyblade, then he can become an active charactely, as Braig A reason for this is exactly the line he gives to Ven of "thinking he is a full fledged weilder now" since if he had interacted with him in Chi time he would've met him as a Dandellion, who no doubt were top notch fighters, that is why he only met him in the BBS era where he is severely weakened, enough for him to mock Ven during their fight And about his line to Sora I think the "heroes" he refers are just the BBS trio since they were fighting for the greater good (even terra at the end) and being trained for that purpose, and wearing keyblade armor, would look more heroic The unions (that includes dandellions & foretellers) in Chi while good at first end up wrapped in chaos and fighting each other for control and causing the Keyblade war itself, not very Heroic, even if you were to say that the Dandellions weren't that selfish, their main mission was to escape the fight and live on,again, not an "heroic" action

Not really, no. The "Organisation XIII" is made up of 13 darknesses that's why he needed 13 keyblades including himself. If you think about it, there's actually an inconsistency even if you are counting that Xigbar died and made a keyblade. Because when Master Xehanort killed Kairi he had 12 Keyblades, all 12 except himself and hence killed Kairi to make the 13th That means Xigbar did die, that's all well and good except there should only have been 11 keys not 12 because Xion, a member of "Organisation XIII" never actually died. Anyway, that aside he killed Kairi to get the 13th key otherwise he himself would have had to die to make the 13th and that means Xigbar did die and come back, most probably the same way other lost masters came back.

Wait, if Xigbar set Xehanort's plans into motion, then Luxu would have had to have met him earlier in life, probably before he was Braig. Check out the trailer for Re:mind. It shows young Xehanort, silver-eyes and all, meeting with a man in a black coat. I thought it was the Master of Masters, but what if it was Luxu? What if he realized Xehanort would likely receive No Name from his master and set him on the path of darkness? And saying "Why else would I ever put up with all his nonsense?" What if he ended up not liking Xehanort, so wanted to take back his Keyblade to give to someone he felt was better suited?

It's almost word for word about what happens at the end of the game. Maybe Sora is related to that one missing Foreteller? Maybe Luxord is MoM? What's in the booox?

[@RuneKatashima]

Xigbar's theme sounding like Organization XIII's theme isn't a hint towards Luxu at all. Not even a tiny bit. There's no thread there. He's in the Org, it's a connection between him and the Org. Still, among all this. I'm realizing I don't have a reason to care. Why do I care about Xigbar being Luxu? Up to this point neither entities have done anything of merit. Luxu has literally done nothing and we don't know his purpose. Xigbar, up to this point, has just been an average boss to defeat with meaningless dialogue. It's all great if in the *next game* he does things but in all other media reveals like this usually are important because the character(s) in question have already had an impact.

[@nofriendzjustaname9337]

*Making a lot of assumptions right now, I called it months before KH3 came out, my buddy was pissed cuz he didn't believe me.* If you go back to older games, all the hints become very obvious, but you could tell he was meant to stick out and he's never been on any definite side.

[@AntiRiku]

> Nomura plans ahead > Xigbar is Luxu Pick one.

[@jaythehuman2552]

My favorite bit of trivia is braig or xigbar is Nomura's favorite character to play in 358/2 days mission mode.

[@ankurbhaskar4634]

Never noticed that was a remix theme in DDD, but I also thought it was to build excitement of nearing the end of the game. Also in that game, forgive me if you mentioned this in the original vid you did, but when he sees Sora with all his friends in a vision, that could be him envisioning the future, with him being Luxu & having the ability to see through time. Also I think the suspicious scene cut off at the end of Olympus was to cue in Luxord coming in as seen in the ReMIND DLC trailer. It is crazy to think Nomura planned this out all the way back.

[@mourgos1234]

All the Organisation members had the organisation theme in their respective musics in KH 2 / CoM etc so anyone who listen's to Xigbar thinks its because he is member of the Organisation.

[@MrKodystorm]

So being 100% with you. Luxu/zigbar is like even deeper than this. See my theory is that he is the master of masters. Has time travel abilities hence the fade away part. He did what xehanort did separated his soul in the box. 1 fragment per key blade wielder 1 to his key blade And luxu was tasked to pass on the key blade in order to oversee his plans closely. But luxu and the masters are just a early separation between the masters nobody and his heartless. Both carrying the robe of darkness. Also note the phrase may your heart be your guiding key. Guiding key- your heart is in it.- master of masters heart is in the blade with the eye. His nobody - zigbar - luxu- says he casted his form long ago. Aka became zigbar to push thru time to keep writing the book of prophesies. Thus his true form is resided in the ability to transform like terra,aqua and ven can. But his form is the blade itself. And after the blade absorbing kingdom hearts energy, can give him a form past that attained by xehanort. But luxu still needs to gather his 7th- his heartless. Who might be trapped in the box itself. And he could have been carrying the secret, the heartless , the first heartless.

[@AnthonyH0395]

I noticed the fact that Xigbar's theme in DDD shares its leitmotif with Organization XIII, but my biggest question with it was why was Xigbar so significant to get his own theme. Axel has appeared in all but two of the games and never got a theme, whereas Xigbar appeared less. The fact that he's actually Luxu makes it make sense

[@chrisredwolf3130]

i am for sure Luxord is the Master of masters the way they both talk as if they are part of a game show or game in general so the personal is similar. but the “prizes” given have a future use. such as the box, the keyblade, and with Luxord... Sora’s wild card.

[@daey9384]

i know this is a year late but the thing in the black box could either be yazoras true body, the girl who helped riku go to quadratum. or clues on how to find the master of masters

[@ElickFlash]

Honestly I knew that something was up with Braig for years, and the Luxu reveal proved that Nomura plans this shit ahead of time.

[@coltdeedede]

Xigbar is an amazing character and I really believe that, but my issue is with Tetsuya's storytelling methods. You can tell from early on Xigbar is a devious person with a bit of mystery than he cares to let on. But the story gives you no REAL evidence as to why or what he's doing and then in KH 3 all of a sudden he's Luxu. I'm not opposed to this reveal, in fact I love that he is Luxu, it's just that most of the "hints" that he is Luxu come in X and KH 3. Which feels like sloppy storytelling. I think the biggest quote most all of us overlooked was from KH 2 when he says "You don't look like you're half the hero the others were." but even then you can disprove that Nomura knew what he was doing with Braig by his role in Birth By Sleep. At the context of the time the quote is clearly a nod to whats to come in BbS and in Birth by Sleep we hardly have any strong evidence to even support the KH X timeline. Its just all so shoehorned and sloppily put together after KH 2 and it makes me reject what the series has become despite the amazing characters he created. It feels like he uses "mystery" and "reveals" as a device to cover his ass pulls. Especially in titles after KH 2... And that is my frustration with this series thus far I hope you enjoyed haha and I welcome any other perspectives on this.

[@flygonkerel781]

*"why else do you think i wpuld ever put up with all his nonsense"* he says this becasue he has bogger plans and sees xehanorts as petty lol

[@Gravesyte]

Perhaps that's why he wears the eye patch because his eye has always been watching in the keyblade

[@andrelima4125]

weird that Xigbar says "finally, back where it belongs", if he gave the No Name right after the end of UX

[@shortsrus]

This video hits even harder now

[@i_obey_jalen3714]

Am I the only one who thinks Ava is the traitor and that’s why when he called Sora the traitor in Kh2 he was referring to Ava who was hiding in his heart.

[@i_obey_jalen3714]

Because I feel like the reason we didn’t see Ava in Kh3 is because she is hiding in his heart.

[@GE0RGECREWS]

Stuff like this is why I love the KH series. Its like I think i know it all & then BOOM! New info surface & im like “WOW..didnt see that coming” & then old evidence points to the new info & im like “WHOA..I didnt notice that”. Ona personal note, its funny how my favorite O13 members all have a deep background story (roxas, xigbar, saix, axel & luxord)

[@Venator94]

Honestly, I think you're overestimating Nomura's screenwriting abilities way too much.

[@OnchiBon]

After KH3 it's pretty clear that it was mostly coincidental how well each game fit the narrative. The way Nomura ended the Wayfinder, Sea Salt and Destiny Island trio's arcs is something a middle schooler would have done better.

[@clifmknight]

Hmm surprised the passwords for the computer at Hollow Bastion / Radiant Garden weren't mentioned. Granted ya can't actually see what the letters are but you can certainly see the number of characters and how they line up with the Foreteller names.

[@TheDoremifan1]

No they’re the original six apprentices names. Besides there was no passsword that has 3 letters in it.

[@sithmaster4305]

Xigbar is easily my favorite of the series and I was obsessed with Roxas for awhile.

[@MahoganytownXD]

Nomura *was* making it up as he went along. It wasn't until BBS that a larger narrative was formed. Old interviews indicate this. In game info also supports this. Even still, the KHx stuff was written was later.

[@NadineHernandezDamn_its_Nadine]

The thing I noticed in birth by sleep was the original time meeting "him" when he had the master tied up and fought Terra. His eyes were a different color. They didn't be the yellow we always see until we see him again about to fight aqua. Think he hadn't yet taken the body of the original braig till sometime after the original fought Terra.

[@P_SEC]

Here’s a music mind blow, Vanitas’s theme is composed of both Ventus and Sora’s theme. Defining one another which together make a greater whole.

[@Ziru0Gaming]

So Xigbar is Ventus’s apprentice meaning Ventus is the master of masters and is playing the sleeper agent.

[@nshippudennaruto2814]

Love that scene with the masters of masters! And the music? Like really! Never noticed .

[@mrdarkremnants922]

Me: "One person is missing a eye..."

[@JWeston723]

9:01 or you know... it could be just that he is a major character from the organization and thus when his theme was written it was simply making a reference to the fact that he was a member

[@tempesttie7270]

1:51 i never realized how ridiculous ira's mask was until now. it has a freaking wig- in a *ponytail*.

[@butt5ful]

As epic as the reveal was I think it would have been even better if he didn’t talk when he picked his Keyblade up. Or when Ira asked if he summoned them. Only after they questioned if he was Luxu and pulled his hood down.

[@cameronvaldez3615]

Did anyone else catch that on the box it has the same symbols/lines from the banner in the study room

[@Kairikey]

.....Didn't Nomura said his plan for Xigbar was really from how impressed he was with his voice actor?

[@yams7355]

I'm not thrilled about a lot of story elements that KH has going on ATM, but I am really thrilled about finding out more about Luxu. He's the only real part of Union X that interests me right now honestly.

[@TailsNight]

What I loved about that scene is that we assumed Xeganort at the time and never even considered the Master of Masters.

[@draconicthemoelion7726]

4:03, I think it's safe to say that Nomura never has the first idea what he's talking about.

[@attackofthecopyrightbots]

you didn't recognize the organization theme?

[@willsword8100]

Editing on point.

[@ZacharyShow]

Just finished the game and loved the twist at the end.

[@crystalmoviesuk2615]

theres the part where Xigbar was the one who got Marluxia to join the organisation. Marluxia is Luriam from KHX one of the dandelions

[@Alayaway]

K so I think Luxa already has a key blade or has had one this whole time and the guns are his formchanger maybe a reach but why not

[@soul6733]

No, he didn't have a keyblade.

[@israelmonteromejia8439]

so you know how sora has a keyblade that turns into guns right? it could be similar.

[@Alayaway]

Israel Montero Mejia my thoughtssss exactlyyyyy

[@Alayaway]

Soul6 I mean not that we saw but then again we also didn’t know he was Luxa dooooooo

[@Rodrigo24717]

I've noticed, don't say we never noticed

[@nethrelm]

I made a similar point in the comments of part 1. I already had my suspicions about who Xigbar/Braig really was, and the final scene of Olympus in KHIII confirmed it (I actually called a friend and told him "I swear dude, Xigbar's going to be Luxu, just wait"). By the time I reached the epilogue I was just like "...called it..." lmao

[@Solfei]

Man, does that Nomura scares me like nobodies business

[@coatguy2990]

Gotta say MoM and Luxu are by far the most entertaining characters in the entire franchise...I kinda wanna have an entire game about Xigbar/Luxu and what he was doing in his time!

[@PhantomBlackStar]

I always knew something different about Xigbar , when he was shown in Birth By Sleep and Dream Drop Distance. But didn't see the End Event of KH3 coming lol.

[@xlro8f853]

And now with this recent Union X update? What a hype twist!

[@JohnnyQuest5827]

Start at 6:15...do you think theres any significance with Braig referring to Sora/Roxas as a "Traitor"?. Does it relate to UX as far as Ventus goes. With him possibly being the "Traitor"

[@shaydenwilliams1193]

I’ve been saying it since we found out xigbar is Luxu but he calls sora traitor referring to Ventus as he was the traitor from the dandielions original leaders that wasn’t supposed to have a copy of the book which luxu knew. And xehanhort being able to make an embodiment of Ventus’s darkness inside his heart is proof.

[@smokingsoilder]

Xigbar fight in KH2 will always be my favorite fight. Sephiroth aside of course
