The Truth About Luxord - Kingdom Hearts 3 ReMind

[@HMK]

We are about to bust the NEXT SAGA of Kingdom Hearts WIDE open with Luxord's TRUE IDENTITY! Lets get past 1000 LIKES!

[@saladoc]

Hmk, I noticed something very important in the breath of the wild 2 trailer that probably nobody noticed before, in one of the shoots of the probably mummified ganondorf I saw in his hand what I could only describe like a stigmata, a hole in his left hand, the only one that has a clear shot of his palm, i can´t bellive I just noticed that and only because I recently put that shoot as a wallpapaer in my desktop, what the fuck does that mean!

[@kinoleogeo7998]

Will you possibly address the potential somebody name of Luxord as Ludor, latin for “to gamble” Also could it relate to the cut content of KH3’s premium demo where Rex reveals Yozora’s sidekicks Aegis and Magia, latin for Shield and Magic?

[@thexreaper6930]

I like your theory HMK. I can believe Luxord is a butler of Yozora, but I do not know if everything he did was for him. I guess for now I do not want to take this information and definitive facts because Nomura always adds twists that can destroy or retconned any previous information or understandings that we have with these games.

[@eddog6666]

I’m still convinced that the good ending isn’t the true ending. I think they are going with the crystallized sora ending. Or the words of Most fans will cry because of the ending. Which is taken from a interview with the creator himself. Basically they are expecting most will not spend hours after hours after days after days trying to beat the yozora boss. You are forgetting about the price sora had to pay. His existence. Right now sora does even exist. That means he 100% does not have any power or skill anymore which means sora is basically back at KHBBS level. NONE! Zip nana zero.

[@tripoint23x]

[@25shadow11]

... oh my gosh. Luxord said "That's what l've always done. I've followed orders from above without question" .... Like a BUTLER.

[@user-ko3sd9qj2h]

He's definitely following the MoM's orders

[@DySora]

@@user-ko3sd9qj2h I dont think so .. to me Luxord knows about what happened to Yozora (That might got something stolen by the MoM (maybe his body ??)) and he give his card to sora so it would have an impact on his encounter with MoM to help him or its what helped yozora to find sora in the final world maybe ? To me Luxord isn't a bad one at all, he was here because he was just a nobody

[@kinoleogeo7998]

Im betting everything Luxord’s somebody name is Ludor, or latin for “to gamble/ play a game”

[@Xuepreme69]

Gordon Valledor yooo! You are so right! Ludus is latin for game. I remember because of ready player one. So it is possible his name is Ludor. To game, sport, to trick, deceive, frolic...etc. but i always thought his would have been Lourd.

[@Burscutum]

That would be super cool [ and I personally think it sounds the best out of all combinations ] but it wouldn't match with the pattern of every other member.. I don't think its really a rule, but it seems like all the nobodies name and their real names don't share the first letter [ Sora = Roxas, Braig = Xigbar, Arlene = Larxene etc ] and that would be such an annoying combo breaker... But again, I don't think its an actual rule, at least not one that I'm aware of, and it does sound the best, so //shrug LOL

[@kinoleogeo7998]

tam f also remember that if he is from the world Yozora is from, maybe that rule is different. Plus if the cut content from the KH3 premium demo has revealed, its that the partners for Yozora is Aegis and Magia, those names are in Latin as well. Plus Verses XIII also had 3 allies to Noctis. If we’re making parallels, Yozora should also have them, Ludor being the third.

[@elementalcolors4977]

No kidding, but I hate how close that is to "Luxord" though. When we're playing with anagrams, I would expect at more letter rearrangements than just one letter being moved

[@Burscutum]

@@kinoleogeo7998 True, that's a good possibility! And like I said, that name sounds the best, heck, even when KHII first released I wanted that for his name simply because it sounds the best, even tho I had no idea of the latin origin [plus makes the most sense if Nomura is skipping down the FF path haha] so a part of me does hope it's right, [On different, but similar note, I was also a fan of Dyme for Demyx as opposed to the much more wildly popular Myde, so I do tend to favor the similar name structure] But even if Luxord is from a different universe, it's been implied the person who names them once joining the Organization is Xemnas- from this universe, I doubt someone would be allowed to roll up and say "this is my name, I've decided for myself." - I mean, they could, its just..it feels unlikely.

[@jedtheblerd]

Did you notice that in the original secret movie, sora looks directly at the driver side of a black car? I wonder if it’s connected.

[@dst_3739]

I bet that Luxord is from that world.

[@SSlash]

Danny GT5 you didn’t gather that from this video, more so the secret episode itself? It’s where Yozora comes from

[@Otoshi_Gami]

@@dst_3739 that would mean that luxord is expecting him to be there so that sora will meet luxord's somebody.

Whether this is right or wrong, or somewhere in between, I'm just excited for more Luxord. He's been my fave organisation member for years xD

[@HummingbirdSaltalamachia]

Exactly, my first KH game was KH2. I was always drawn to Luxord for some reason and wa as stoked to see him in the pirates trailer. His scene in Re:Mind is one of my favorite scenes in the whole series. The way he makes Luxu's plan come crashing down around him is absolutely amazing.

[@Zodia195]

Ditto! I've always loved Intellectual chars, whether they be good or bad, so Luxord was always up there for me along with Xigbar. If he ends up being on the 'good side' for the next saga, I'll be over the moon!

[@surajshergill7777]

This man intrigues me even more than Luxu! He is so mysterious and feels like he knows more than he actually lets on. Almost like he’a just biding his time and waiting for something to play out because he has a plan and the whole wildcard he gave to Sora? I wanna know what it is!

[@bennyhansenlifindra1636]

Given his nature of "It's more fun when you beat the odd." I think he's just go along for the ride as long as it's fun because "a game is not fun when you know where it goes."

[@sir_tuk_kun8424]

Still would be nice to see luxu’s original form

[@ubergamer2010]

I feel like the wild card is Sora's symbol to use whenever he unfreezes. Since he will remember Luxord when he wakes up, it will be possible for Luxord or maybe even Yozora to pull him into the future or into Yozora's world? Maleficent was told she was a "symbol" as well. Considering Luxord knew about the other world, I have a feeling it's all connected and SOMEBODY is gonna eventually save Sora by using that connection with the card.

[@remingtonsix5517]

Oh my gosh I just realized/remembered something! Remember when Sora first went into Verum Rex? He was in toybox, but that’s not the important part, what is important that after the battle he has in the game he gets Wreck-It Ralph summon, and where else do we see Ralph? Why in kingdom hearts unchained X. There he resides in the Worlds digitally re-created for the dandelions. Perhaps the world of Verum Rex is that same digitalized world from unchained X

[@yunarukami4359]

The fact that the area the Yozora fight takes place in looks to be digitally created supports that theory too!

[@ffviifangirl1]

I can see that

[@ansemthewise210]

Damn game central station

[@noahdean9685]

I believe luxlord and demyx are not from Union Cross but from Shibuya but now I'm confused where does the master of Masters and his six apprentice play into all of this.

[@noahdean9685]

@Milkyway2099 here's to the next saga of Kingdom hearts.

[@coolshiznit13]

Demyx has nothing to do with Luxord

[@xSkwintz]

They’re not from Shibuya. Shibuya seems to be like some kind of dream world or a crossing ground between Sora and Yozora’s dimensions. I was say it’s truly Kingdom Hearts but another part of me wants to say Yozora’s world is inside Kingdom Hearts where Yozora is actually the king but since Sora defeats him in the secret ending (you should always win your fights for the real story), Sora cold replace Yozora as the king hence the images of Sora with the crown and throne. As for the Master of Masters, he’s also probably part of the issue Yozora is dealing with which is why he needs Sora. I believe the reason the MoM disappears is because he goes to Yozora’s dimension. Part of me speculated that MoM is from Yozora’s world and that Yozora’s world represents Darkness where Sora’s represents the light. Kingdom hearts since more a gateway between the 2 more than so it’s own world. Going back to the MoM, the apprentices are all vessels of his heart so that when the time comes for him to come back, he has his apprentices who will remember him to bring him back.

[@sloppyranger7679]

That’s makes so confusing

[@kotlolish]

There is a high possiblity that Demyx is actually the master of masters due to similiar mannerisms. To the point he is fooling Luxu and Luxord. Think of it like a "Booster Gold" situation. The lazy self obessed hero that is looking for easy success and is from the future .... who in reality keeps the timeline safe! Since time travel is a thing....and different forms is a thing... how can we say Demyx couldn't be it? Then again....it could be Yozora is Demyx. How do I guess? The fact Yozora confirms he "looks" like Yozora to Sora.. but he doesn't see Sora...but. eh... Demyx is the only organsation member with Luxord who had the least explained. All the others have their backgrounds and stories explained of who they are.. With Luxord there.. what remains of Demyx.. if he was a lazy bystander.. he shouldn't be a strong nobody.. let alone another vessel capable of betrayal.

[@masterindra7604]

I'm getting the vibe that KH characters might be flipped replacements of Versus XIII/Verum Rex characters The guy in the car resembled Luxord incredibly. Also: Gladio/Ignis & Aegis/Magia Yozora/Noctis Lunafreya(Stella)/"Sora" But...where's Prompto? I say Demyx could be the Prompto nobody of KH/Verum Rex.

[@jiannitzianopoulos2528]

Sorry, but there is one inconsistency: I speak Japanese and in the bad ending Yozora says that he will rescue Sora (救い出す) and in saving him, this really means not keeping him for something, but helping him out. So I would question the point concerning the problem Yozora might be facing and desperately needing Sora's power for now. Othter than that - I wholeheartedly agree with what you said!

[@Daisyafi]

yeah, 救い出す means that yozora will save sora as in bailing him out of danger or rescueing him from something...

[@avocadoadmiral6142]

Sora being put into crystal sleep was the most Final Fantasy 13 sh*t that has happened by now

[@AshePBlack]

I caught that

[@JehuisRad]

TheCaptainBratwurst that was the most final fantasy thing about this franchise

[@blackdemonknight]

Luxord always came off as respectful and honorable to everyone, even in his boss fight games he played fair and never rigged it in ways he would win. This truely does show he is a gentlman, I would call him Yozora's butler/bodyguard or maybe even his guardian (basically he is Alfred)

[@LuckiSir]

8:19 It made me think about Luxord's perspective of this too: *A keyblade wielder pops out of nowhere, and then begins eliminating the organization members.* It most definitely would've caught Luxord's interest, thinking "This guy is pretty strong, and based on his interactions he seems to have a good heart." But in order to really test him, he'd have to give a game of luck & chance. Which Sora still won.

[@Robinx1985]

Maybe the Master of Masters is trying to create a new Kingdom Hearts in Yozorah's world in the event that if Xehanort was to lose that he had a back-up plan.

[@Kuronoichig01]

This is fantastic! I JUST beat Yozora and noticed something in the opening cutscene before the fight. Yozora has Soras crown sigil on his shoulder! What does it mean?!

I didn't notice Luxord when I first unlocked the secret ending, But when you pointed it out I thought yeah that definitely seems like Luxord. Another theory I saw elsewhere is that Yazora is like an alternate reality version of Riku and that he is trying to save a different Sora which happens to be the girl from that Verum Rex trailer, which might make sense with that whole "I'm Sora" dialogue that Yazora doesn't seem convinced that he's the same Sora he's trying to save. So many interesting theories. I'll be excited to see where they go from here.

All of this is reminding me of the 'Legends' two-part from the Justice League cartoon. Maybe the same way, Yozora exists as a game character in Sora's universe, Sora exists as a fictional character in Yozora's. Considering Legends and the Multiversity are some of my favorite stories, this makes me extremely excited for the future of Kingdom Hearts! Goddammit Nomura, why are you such a master of teasing us?!

[@AubreyTheKing]

Nomura was not joking when he said Luxord was his favorite Organization member! THIS IS DEEP AS HELL! I really can't wait to find out how Luxord became intro contact with Yozora! How do they know each other? Does Yozora look up to Luxord like a father? Does Luxord look at Yozora like a son? Imagine if their relationship is THAT deep! MY GOD! And of course, there's the biggest theory that Yozora could be Noctis. Considering Yozora said "he doesn't normally look like that." I hope you can give us your two cents on that HMK! Great theory video as always man! :D

[@Mr587098]

Honestly I believe is Luxord is driver of Yozora and someone holding a connection to the Ancient Keyblade War, but here's why: Luxord belonged to the age of fairy tales and arrived at the present time of KH due to ark and the Union facing Darkness and Maleficent. Maybe he's someone who managed to keep his memories from his life in the age of fairy tales and realize that there are others out there and seek them out by pretending to join the Organization. He's aware of the existence of the Box and desire to find for himself and keep it away from Xigbar had he aware he might be Luxu knows what he's planning to do with it. But how does it connect to Verum Rex? Well I believed that Verum Rex has some more connection to the Union X due to its title as Rex last little is X, which has significant meaning in the series. Also the Nomura mention that the Nameless Star, who we all thought it was Strelitiza (as the evidence does add up) until Remind, was another character who has previously appeared in the series. While it possible it could be the original heart of the girl that appeared in the Verum Rex trailer if you count that (again nameless star is someone who appeared in a different from III), I believed its Skuld, who her heart pins for Ephemer, who's body inhabitant by another heart and going by the name of Yozora. Think about it, we know that Ephemer spirit wonder through the Keyblade Graveyard similar to the Lingering Will but we don't know what happen to his body physically as we don't what happen to him. Also the body won't have any memories of his past life as people like Ven and Lauriam don't have memories of previous life due to time traveling though a different world line so Yozora won't remember his past life and Nameless Star also mention that he doesn't remember her. Yozora, who aware of his existence and know this isn't his heart inhabit of a body of another (which he's states as he isn't how used to be physically, which people aren't realizing as they think Nameless Star is also name Sora) and in fact different person. Luxord knowing that the body of Yozora is Ephemer is watching over Yozora and is using him to bring back Sora through the Wild Card while helping Yozora to restore his memories and aid him to what's to come in the KH series.

[@shadowwriter4538]

Didn't you say in one of your vidoes that Luxord and Ava migh be working together against the Master of Masters in some way? And is it possible that Yozoura might be a part of "her own mission" that Luxui was talking about.

[@kidzes9704]

I was looking forward to this, too. I also think, that the wild card leads Sora and Riku to Yozora (yes, I mean that it leads them both to Shibuya). But there's more that needs to be discussed: Luxord called Xigbar the "black goat" and himself the "white goat", like both of them are on the same level. He also said that he "always followed his orders", instead of gambling on everything, maybe he knew, what is going to happen..... because he read it before in the book..... again and again.... like a certain foreteller.... So the reason, why Xigbars true identity didn't matter to Luxord was, that he figured it out just by watching him (in that extra scene) (just he did it in the book of prophicies countless times). It just wasn't the right time to call him by his true name. The right time was after the end when Luxu summond the foretellers back, then Luxord was able to ask Xigbar, if he's Luxu. This leads to the conclusion that Luxord is Ira and that he went to the realm of Yozora after he disappeared.....

[@dswin6306]

Kidzes I agree about the white goat meaning they are connected, but I don’t see anything to connect Luxord to Ira...

[@Cybertech134]

I would think that Ira knew it was Luxu because Luxu was holding No Name

[@madestmadhatter]

Ira's voice and body type don't match up, and all the fortellers seem to have remained unaged, so I don't think it's the case.

Yozora can steal Sora's keyblade. He also has two crossed keyblades on the sleeve of his jacket. I'm thinking Luxord could have helped train Yozora like Gladio trained Noctis in FFXV.

Especially with KH1, it's obvious that it was created to work as a standalone game in case it didn't turn out successful. Nomura may have had some concepts in his head for the future, but that's about it. Here's the thing though. Ever since KH2 or even CoM, it is pretty clear if you were paying attention that it set up a lot of things for the future. I'm very sure Nomura planned who Xehanort and Ventus were by this point at least, and even if he didn't then that's beside the point because it connected just fine. I think the problem for most people is when DDD threw time travel into the mix (which likely wasn't even planned until BBS as we can see from the MF secret boss), however there are not as many retcons as the community makes them out to be. Most were things that were never even given an explanation in the first place which shouldn't be classified as a retcon, but as a plot hole that was filled in a future game. A lot of things that were questionable in KH2, now all of a sudden made sense thanks to games such as BBS and 358/2 (Roxas and Sora being able to dual wield along with an explanation as to why Roxas doesn't look identical to Sora for example). So those games didn't add any plot holes, instead it did the opposite and answered a lot of questions even if it ended up making the series more complicated along the way. The thing about KH's plot is that as a whole it's one giant story with a bunch of different plot points trying to weave themselves together. That can be overwhelming for a lot of people and instead of trying to make sense out of it, they just give up entirely. I have been a fan of KH since day 1, and while I admit the story isn't perfect, and that this type of storytelling definitely isn't for everyone, for the most part it's still well done and I have enjoyed the ride it has taken me on. KH3 for all its faults, still gave me the fanservice and emotional payoffs for the characters I waited to see on screen for years. If you never cared about these characters it won't mean much to you, but for me it was those kind of moments that made it all worth it. You can say what you want about KH, but it had a lot of story elements that were pretty genius and creative especially on paper. It's just the execution that can be shaky sometimes.

Probably explains why master of masters was in there world trying to open kingdom.hearts and they knew they need more help and could possibly explain why there aren't many people around yazoras world

[@The_Future_isnt_so_Bright]

So where does the master of masters come into play? He was up on the building looking at the moon, so what is the threat? Why did the MofM's use Xanhort, what is his master plan? It all reminds me of Pirates of the carribean when they got out of Davey Jones locker. Up is down, light to dark, a inversion of the worlds like at Scala ad Caelum. It was built on day break town or was Day break town built on Scala ad Caelum when some kind of inversion happens to the worlds. I dont know...random thoughts never hurt.

Jeeves from Jeeves and Wooster is Wooster's valet, a "gentleman's personal gentleman", just another label you could use for the driver.

[@julzshooter]

Dude I think you are spot on!btw hmk now we know the nameless star is the girl that yoZora was trying to save.

[@Rinthian]

The "wild card" could also be like the world cards we get in Chain Of Memories, its probably just an object that connects sora to yozora's world but works the same way as a world card from COM.

[@VioApollo]

Nice touch putting a Mario and Luigi boss theme. Yoko does alot and I mean alot of nice work for that series as she does for KH.

[@flyguy5357]

Glad I'm not the only one who recognized the music.

[@alialatrach9788]

In "Team Fortress 2" the "Medic guy is played by the same person who did Luxord, both do have some things in common, I do love that crazy Medic who lost medical license and now Luxord is gonna have his moments to shine, what a cool thing!

[@sojackedup]

OBJECTION!! "How did i pick numbers 9 through 12, you four are going to reveal your greatest secret: the ancient keyblade legacy that sleeps within you"

[@aserejedebereje5161]

Great video! That part about saving Sora makes a lot of sense now, but 1 thing I still cant wrap my head around is the fact Xemnas knows about a certain keyblade legacy which includes Luxord, how do Xemnas knows about him and why was it irrelevant to Xehanorts plan? unless it wasnt?

[@tuckerkeith9951]

I have a theory about the MoM. It seems like basically he sets up the wars between light and darkness when darkness starts to grow too large leading to a purge in the hopes of a long era of light. We've already seen him manipulate the fortellers and xehanort into enacting 2 different world ending scenarios and from the sounds of it hes been doing it for centuries or even millennia. In his mind he's doing it for the greater good but the Sora messed it all up so he's gonna have his eyes set on him now.

[@TheDildaddy]

Nomura bout to put a hit on you for revealing all storyline plans. lmao

[@graypaint]

or he's carefully mining these points as info to re-work/refine his storylines. Creators are always on the lookout : )

[@laith9989]

I feel like he could be talking about the town when he says “Impressive”

[@tasuku9124]

But why he said it ONLY if you beat yozora?

[@laith9989]

yusuf912 7k I just think they had him say something as a reveal for fans - a reward for beating Yozora We shall see in due time

[@PasinKunamart]

6:45 Not sure if I agree with you since in Japanese version, Yozora use the word that can only means “to save” as in “to rescue”. For the ending where sora lost, he said something along the line of “I will rescue you/I will set you free” which might give a little more context than english version.

[@Strike_Raid]

That's pretty insightful, I think you've got it.

[@randomuseroftheday362]

the original v13 trailer wasn't with Noctis and Cor, it was Noctis and Regis. 3:53

[@soliquidsnake3990]

The driver in the VersusXIII trailer was actually King Regis.

[@redline4124]

Anyone notice too that yozora has keyblade crests on the shoulder of his vest? Look at his shoulder 6:06 in the video

[@stephengoughjr9684]

I also think it's interesting how Versus 13 concepts are springing back up, but also concepts of the original FF13 universe. Specifically, Luxord using cards, like the (main) theme of FF13: Agito.

[@heatherlong5286]

Okay this theory has blown my mind. I completely believe it.

[@sonicthefox2478]

Awesome theory video, dude. Remind has been amazing, even if I have not finished the data fights yet. (Luxord in particular is proving to be troublesome. Only 6 members to go before the secret boss. The other five being Xemnas, Ansem, Young Xehanort, Xion, and Xehanort himself. I've kinda just been powering my way through most of them and somehow it's working.) We also have plenty of new things to dive into for theories, but one thing I am curious about, will do a theory/analysis type thing on thst one Mickey Mouse scene? I think there's some important things there as well as Sora and Kairi's link attack.

[@Kirito843]

A beautiful one as always, HMK!

[@CHAOKOCartoons]

You can also possibly tie Luxord's love and mastery of games to the concept of Verum Rex being a "game" in Sora's reality. A master of games coming from a world that is and of itself "a game" seems to make a lot of sense to me.

[@flygonkerel781]

YES I SAID THAT "SAVE" MEANS TO "PRESERVE" NOT TO "RESCUE". ALSO YOZORA'S POWER HAS TO DO WITH DEATH LIKE VSXIII NOCTIS.CALLING IT NOW

[@TheLemonsims]

This was well worth the wait. HMK....bruh...you the man.

[@joshuavenerospommier6500]

OK I BELIEVE YOU It makes sense to me

[@CerridwenAwel]

A cool thing: in the major arcana of the tarot, the 10th card is the wheel of Fortune, which has to do with the constant changing nature of things, with karma and with the ups and downs of life. A card that turns tables.

[@blitzwolf1481]

One question I have though Xemnas said that the secrets of the keyblade war sleeps within luxord marluxia larxene and demyx how can he be both from UX and also be from Yozoras world?

[@edgeofultima7483]

Well, the Master of Masters is from Union Cross and is in Yozora's world.

[@KBgamer2010]

Chances are, Xemnas just assumed Luxord was from UX

[@MillenaKusaka]

HMK you just blew my mind. I am loving it. Keep it up

[@enbaconing9507]

Just a random question. Isn’t the 104 building the same building from The World Ends With You aka the game with the characters from Kh: Dream Drop Distance?

[@dontcomeclose8463]

I'm thinking Sora Is a game character that Yozora knows from Kingdom Hearts being a game inside Verum Rex.

[@dontcomeclose8463]

@Milkyway2099 Exactly what im thinking, Yozora trying to "save" him from the video game. Crazy nomura things ya know

[@dontcomeclose8463]

Milkyway2099 Yooooo 😂

[@arkz-nero9674]

I think you have a point, since confusingly in Union X, Wreck it Ralph's world seems to exist separately from anything in Kingdom Hearts. Perhaps there are no longer just different worlds, but different dimensions, as in Video Game dimensions? Edit: & to take it further, let's assume what I said is real. What if this explains why Final Fantasy characters are in Kingdom Hearts? Perhaps something unexplained happened to the games they came from & were plopped in Hollow Bastion & what not? It's hard to digest how it'd all work, but man, makes me wonder.

[@dontcomeclose8463]

Arkz Nero Sounds about right!

[@SheetsInc]

"Picture this, a black goat stashes away a letter, then orders a white goat to search for it, what could his intentions possibly be?" If Black Goat is black coat the letter is X (the box), then Luxord is the white goat, But what is a white Coat? who are you indeed luxord? were you always on the side of light?

[@AnubisBlackGamez]

Maybe yozora's butler is actually luxords somebody (uldor) from another dimension, and when he traveled to sora's world he lost his heart and joined the organization.

[@nefarious_seraph13]

Didn’t everyone used to think he was the player character from the union x app game?

[@linkoffate]

As in “save Sora”, I believe it was not about saving Sora for later, where in Japanese it was about literally saving Sora. I guess we need cross checking with the translations for these stuff

[@WILDMUSTANGX]

But this just raises further questions. It brings into question why exactly Xemnas brought Luxord back into the Organization and what exactly he meant by "the ancient key blade legacy sleeping within you" (or however exactly he worded it) when referring to Luxord in particular (and Demyx too, since we still know nothing at all about his past). For Marluxia and Larxene, this made sense, because they were both around over 100 years ago, during "The time of fairytales," but where does Luxord fit into all of that, if he's from another reality entirely??? And for that matter, where does Demyx fit???

[@abnerfilio27]

Yozora also said his appearance is not what he really looks like. So the Yozora that woke up in that car still isnt the real Yozora?

[@Itachiflameamaterasu]

Man one thing I like about this whole story is that everything seems to link up well and doesn't seem out of nowhere or straight bs, it seems like Nomura planned this all along years ago or at least planted the idea and now he's making full use of it which seems pretty dope.
