The implication is so real with this series. They leave things ambiguous on purpose to add layers on it later on to make it even more convoluted than it already is

[@robertmolnar8543]

From what I can tell the Master of Masters is an example of the phrases "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions" & "The ends justify the means"

[@ZeranZeran]

But WHO IS HE?

[@PhantomBulletGames]

​@ZeranZeran Sora's mom coming back because he miss dinner!

[@thenobody7509]

So something interesting is in cosmic themeing. Sora is the moon. Riku is the sun and we could say that whoever made the heart shape with their hands is actually not after kingdom hearts. But Sora's heart

[@justawafflecousinofpancake4499]

Is funny when you put into it. Since there is an secret, where in kh1 for going into the “secret waterway” at (traverse town) when talking to Kairi of the two seens an art 🖼️ wall that resemble the sun ☀️ and when Sora come across the sun wall it turn into an Navi-gummi piece, of the sun back into an moon 🌙 wall. Pretty fun scene , if I do say so myself 😊.

[@monst3r74]

You're not just wrong, you're stupid. Sora means light, the whole plot is light in darkness. Riku is darkness

[@thed4rknss673]

I think pure light are as dangerous as a pure darkness, in FF14 we had a whole world the suffered a calamity(apocalypse) becouse there was too much light, i think the same can be said for KH, balance is important, that's why Sora having a Anti/Shadow form and Riku being in the middle, for me, it's awesome, both had this balance and that's why both of them are as powerfull as they are

[@jettthewolf887]

Ive always felt that light in general is just as capable of being evil as darkness, and to your point, can be just as bad. There needs to be balance.

[@truthspreader1996]

FF14 (Which is FF3 story) has it's way it constructed. They made the light just another concept and in that story it was no different from darkness. It wasn't based on "Goodness", "Morailty", "Justice" or anything of the such. It was just another path that led to the same thing. Kingdom Heart's concept of light is still a little ambiguous but it is still ground in rightousness even if the people using it lose their way sometimes.

[@thed4rknss673]

​@@truthspreader1996 Not that much, in 14 from 1.0 until the begging of the Heavensward(2010-2015) post-expansion with the Warriors of Darkness being introduced, we thinked of light as highly as KH, we are called Warrior of Light not becouse we fight Darkness, but becouse light is regarded as "goodness", "morality", "justice", it was until the reveal that the Warrior of Darkness was just the Warrior of Light of another reflection that had too much success fighting Darkness that we learn the need of balance

[@truthspreader1996]

@@thed4rknss673 Not only does that not make sense, but it was the opposite point I made.

[@ZeranZeran]

Just like Yin and Yang You can't see the shadows without the light.

[@fantasyjaylene]

I have a random theory that I have about Demyx’s could possibly be the MoM’s: the MoM’s HAS to be somebody we’ve already seen, or he’s somebody WILL see in the future. There’s no point in hiding his identity if it’s someone we don’t know or haven’t seen. That’s part of why the Luxu reveal worked as well as it did. The reveal simply wouldn’t carry as much weight if the hood finally came off and it was someone we’ve never seen. Nomura has gone to great lengths to keep the MoM’s true name and face a secret, and that’s because it’s most likely someone we’ve already seen or will see in the future! Now, we move onto the real meat of this theory. I’ve noticed that the MoM’s and Demyx have similar personalities. Both are laidback goofballs that crack jokes as often as they can. Both of them even appear to have a slightly cowardly nature, or at least an aversion to conflict. Demyx outright states he doesn’t like fighting, and we haven’t seen the MoM’s fight yet. In fact, I don’t think it’s even implied that the MoM’s has fought anyone or anything at all. He has a Keyblade, but whether or not he’s actually ever used it in combat has yet to be seen or stated. The MoM’s even states that he’s too much of a “scaredy-cat” to take his coat off to Young Xehanort in KH3:ReMind. He could have been joking, but taken at face value, his personality lines up with Demyx’s pretty well. What brings this theory together is that we still don’t know what Demyx’s “Keyblade secret” that Xemnas was referring to is. We DO know that both Marluxia and Larxene were Keyblade Wielders during the events of UX. It’s possible that Xemnas was referring to more than that, but even if he wasn’t, the very fact that Marluxia and Larxene were Keyblade Wielders at all is still a fairly hefty bomb to drop. As for Demyx, his secret has yet to be hinted at. We could assume that it’s the same as Marluxia and Larxene, but UX ended without any confirmation that Demyx had even been born at that time, let alone was a Keyblade Wielder. We still don’t even know what Demyx’s true name is. All of this leads me to believe that Demyx is a fairly plausible candidate for the MoM’s. Is there a possibility this theory is true? Probably not, but it’s just a feeling I have.

[@EUM_NEMESIS]

Problem is Demyx and the MoM don't have the same body type. We can literally see it thanks to their coats. Demyx's shoulders and arms are more petite than the Master's

[@ジョジョさま]

Demyx's true name could be demi rather than demy. Perhaps just due to a translation error. Demi would kind of make sense.

[@fantasyjaylene]

@EUM_NEMESIS I’m aware of that, I just wanted to share my thoughts on the idea.

[@giuliopollastri]

"There’s no point in hiding his identity if it’s someone we don’t know or haven’t seen." Well they did with Vanitas.... maybe Mom will simply have Sora's face or someone else?

[@fantasyjaylene]

@giuliopollastri maybe… maybe not.

[@miscalotastuff733]

Sora is the kingdom hearts.

[@robertodellicarri7600]

And The Children that died in the Keyblade War. A mass Murder for what? Devoure Daybreak town? The Master of Masters ever think about a safety plan for them? Or are they die forever?

[@nickmurray2390]

For a long time now I have sensed the master can impersonate others, what the functions of these coats are I believe is to shapeshift. What if he could sound like another character? There is a scene in KH2 with Xigbar talking to Zexion in a hallway that I am positive is actually the master. The hood never comes off and his mannerisms are almost identical to this scene. Clearly he is also in the secret movie we first saw the BBB sleep crew in as well, before he suddenly looks like xehanort. We see the term lost master in this same secret movie as well.

[@Dawn_Epiphany]

The power of darkness grants the ability to cast illusions and impersonate anyone’s appearance or voice. DiZ does this in COM. We know MoM can use powers of both darkness and light from KHUX. I think you’re absolutely correct and MoM has been hiding in plain sight for the entire series. As whom? Well… I think Ansem the Wise (he makes a coat out of thin air too among many other similarities), but MoM could also shift into anyone…. Who knows who he could be masquerading as? Maybe even the scene you mentioned (or that’s just Luxu mimicking MoM, as he tends to do).

If Sora doesn’t become a Keyblade master in KH4, I am gonna be surprised and upset at the same time

[@truthspreader1996]

Does it really matter, the title is ultimately meaningless.........

[@nathanbyberg]

@@truthspreader1996 : That as it may be, Sora has been denied the title of Keyblade Master for too long imo

[@lightningv4210]

Calling MoM bad or evil, is like calling Doctor Strange bad, MoM has seen a single way to beat the darkness, he will do whatever possible to beat it no matter the cost. it seems that MoM thinks that he needed Sora to make it to Quadratum which the only way that happens is by leading Xehanort down the seeker of darkness road.

[@user-zq1um1mf1s]

Something to remember with Eraquas though is when he realized what he did with Terra and Ventus there was a flicker of darkness that came out of him right when he died and transfered his heart to Terra.

[@DiZphunx]

I just assumed that the flicker of darkness that happened as he died was Xehanort attacking him from behind.

[@Tullerman]

That dialouge was amazing!

[@UnVelius]

I think the way he says "i could tell you I'm good. When I'm really plotting to destroy the world" basically, is a huge red flag that he's actually doing that

[@UnVelius]

Basically I think he's way more evil than he seems

[@lightningv4210]

@@UnVelius I think he is more like Doctor Strange, there is 1 single way to defeat the darkness, and he is doing everything in his power to make that happen, even if he has to sacrifice things, it doesn't make him evil. I am sure if there was another way he would take the lesser of two evils, but that is not the case.

[@UnVelius]

@@lightningv4210 maybe That makes more sense since we do know he's probably seen the end multiple times. So it makes sense he would be looking to help, unless... unless he wants some unknown power to gain secretly more than he wants to help? But if not then evidence points to wanting to help

[@Pegasis993]

After watching this. Does there have to be a single master of masters? Where does it state that there can't be more than one? What if there is two: themself and their nobody? One playing for the dark, one for the light?

[@HunterStiles651]

@@TheOneAndOnly2000K Yeah. You can't just pull whatever plot developments you want out of a hat and say it's a plot twist. Every good plot twist needs a hefty amount of foreshadowing. Xigbar being Luxu isn't a good plot twist because it's shocking and unexpected. It's a good plot twist because you can go replay all the previous games and see that Xigbar was *always* Luxu.

[@HunterStiles651]

@@Triple33Threat KH3's story was fine, or at the very least didn't have any problems that weren't present in KH2: Namely that 80% of the run time is filler and basically the entire plot is backloaded into the last few hours. It certainly didn't have a problem with "bad plot twists." Nah the problem with KH3 was the gameplay. The wind-up and/or ending lag on some of your moves is ridiculous, especially if you spam keyblade transformations like the game clearly wants you to. When you need NG+ abilities and DLC equipment just to achieve the same level of quality as was present in KH2, you have a problem.

[@HunterStiles651]

@Triple33Threat Isn't it exhausting to be so assured that you're the smartest person in the room that if someone has an opinion about a children's video game you disagree with you immediately assume they're mentally deficient in some way? I had that mentality when I was in my late teens and early 20's and I certainly found it exhausting.

[@HunterStiles651]

@@Triple33Threat Actually I take back what I said about most of the plot being filler, the Disney Worlds in KH3 were actually *more* relevant to the plot than KH2. In almost every Disney world in KH2, Organization XIII's sole involvement is "sit back and release a bunch of heartless. Let Sora kill the heartless so that the captured hearts can be added to our artificial Kingdom Hearts." In Toy Box, Kingdom of Corona, Monstropolis, Arendelle, The Caribbean, and San Fransokyo, Organization XIII is not only an active participant in the conflict, but the goal they aim to achieve in those worlds is actively helping to achieve Master Xehanort's ultimate goal. They're either ensuring they have backup lights in case Sora and company fail to find seven guardians or looking for a way to complete Vexen's research so they can have a vessel for their thirteenth seeker. Olympus in tandem with Twilight Town also gives Sora his own overarching objective to work through over the course of the game beyond getting his powers back for the final battle: find a way to save Roxas.

Awesome dude. HAPPY NEW YEAR

[@notasimpleworld6408]

@ProdigyxCD Personal theory here about who MoM is. He is a Final Fantasy Character. Kingdom hearts was supposed to be part of the Fabula Nova Crystalis series. Fabula Nova Crystalis includes VS 13 (Was supposed to be a trilogy) The 13 Trilogy, and Type - 0 / Agito 13 (Which was supposed to be a trilogy, but the most we got was a teaser for Agito 13-2 after type - 0) The Master of Master's always hints at being good at everything but not really being a master of anything. The only time he calls himself a Master is when he talks to young Xahanort and calls himself a "Lost Master." MoM: "Me, on the other hand, I'm too much of a scaredy-cat to ever take mine off." "Well, I could lie and tell you that's what I am, when I'm actually a brilliant artist, or even a scholar. I could tell you that I dream of world peace, when I'm actually planning for its destruction. The truth is what you see with your eyes, not what you hear." "What did I just- Never mind, I guess there's no harm. My name is-" "May your heart be your guiding key." The Master of Masters is painting himself as a "Jack of all trades." When he tells young Xahanort his name we see a flash of light. He is obsessed with his book of prophecy and following it and making sure it comes true. He was a young boy, not even 18 when the first keyblade war started. He lost all of his friends. He says he would call the 13 Darkness monsters but that they look just like humans. Master of Masters is Jack, from Final Fantasy Type - 0. They have the same personality. They act happy and care free but harbor darker thought. They seems like fools seems to like lounging around being lazy, but they both are constantly thinking about the future and have such complex personalities that each person they are around has a different view of them but everyone agrees they are the strongest or the best of them all. Jack uses a Katana and can one shot kill anything with his unique skill in type - 0. He is a master of the blade and of controlling his emptions as well as battle tactics and has the best grades in Class Zero. In FF type - 0 the main cast are all named/ numbered after cards in a playing deck, Ace - Ten + Jack, Queen, King, Joker, and two other characters. In FF type - 0 there are two books of prophecy. One describes a world like Quadratum and the other describes the world of type - 0. In- FF type - 0 Everyone in class Zero are trying to become legendary the hero of prophecy (Agito) and save the world. Hence the actual name being Agito 13. Type Zero has many different endings and it's hinted that it technically has an endless number of them but that in the first ending when the world was destroyed and fell to ruin that all of the members of Class Zero died fighting together. but that the world resets and goes on innumerable cycles until it can fix the problem and save the world and all of Class Zero. In the True ending of Type - 0, Ace - Ten, Queen, King and Joker die. But the two "Main characters" are alive and Jack (The best of them all and a jack of all trades and a master of controlling his emotions is missing or "LOST". MoM: "I'm a Lost Master." In Type - 0 when someone dies, they are completely forgotten and erased from the world. it is described as fading, dimming and then completely disappearing from the world. The Master of Masters and Sora are described as having disappeared in the same fashion. Many of the members of class Zero look like, and share the personality of the foretellers. Demyx's Real Name would be Demi, and Demi means half. He is the MoM's Nobody. He acts Just like the MoM and if you look up Type - 0 characters, he looks almost exactly like Jack. Jack and Demyx have the same Japanese VA. There's a lot more I could say about symbolism and parallels, but this comment is already way too long as is. Demyx is MoM Nobody, the part of Jack that just wants to be lazy. MoM is the Heartless of Jack, (Remember when he describes the darknesses, he says "I'd call them monsters but they look like you. Human." Vanitas is a pure darkness but he can wield a keyblade. Why shouldn't the master be able too. MoM is Jack.

[@kingofkeys93]

in terms of, moving forward in this world i need nomura to, explain the voice in KH1 differently then he has, in interviews he says its mickey but, that voice is speaking with infomation mickey never seems to know? i think it would tie into adding mystery to the series and help bring in the crossing of worlds idea hes doing with sora and noctis, if we all know its noctis and we are just saying it in a different font thats cool, but no doubts hes gonna be the real king and im gonna be waiting, front row for that showing when we get it.

[@nathantaylor1618]

I try to focus on the flow of characters, such as the og keyblade weilders, they fell to sleep, became dream eaters went to sleeping worlds their keys left in the graveyard buuut in kh3 we see sora use a link command that summoned them all, later in same game he summoned all their keys to help aswell. So what would it take to recover them to their original forms?

something i found interesting and curious if this statement in birth by sleep rewatching it threw another creator and have to wonder if it still matters to lore today, vantis at some point tells someone in that game the "X" blade can only be summoned at the keyblade graveyard. and then we see the MoM appear at that place which is suspicious, would it be wild if that keyblade like transformed into MoM, him and that ulta keyblade i hope are tied in a meanful way just to explain why thats powerful, but if that is so, then what is his relationship to kingdom hearts since that key also seems to be very connected to that as well

The MoM is absolutely a villain, just a different kind then before. Darkness's plan, as UX has proven, is simple, spread and infect. That's it. So light, being the opposite, should probably be more methodical and stagnant. Darkness wants to take control and infect everything and light wants everything to stay the way it is and be simple and pure. Neither of those things are good in absolutes. The complete chaos of darkness is just as bad as the stagnation and stifling order of light. The world is the way that it is because it has both light and darkness, but the MoM has made it clear that is end goal his to get rid of the 13 willful darkness, potentially eradicating the darkness completely. This will either destroy the world or alter it until it's unrecognizable. The MoM, even if he does seem to care at least a bit, is completely in the wrong, and I think the message of this next arc is meant to be that moving toward either extreme in a dichotomy like this not a good thing and that you should have a mix of both.

You do sound crazy. But why does that need to be a bad thing? Many of the stories that play out in the Kingdom Hearts universe are not so cut and dry, light vs. dark, good vs. evil, just vs. unjust. It becomes very complex to its core, even beyond the "bonds of friendship" trope that everyone labels the series with. I think to be truly creative and imaginative in the world of Kingdom Hearts, you have to be a little crazy because everything that happens to our beloved characters is crazy.
