I admit, Yozora's presence both excites and unnerves me. On the one hand, the mysteries that this character has set up and the symbolism (a "true king" going up against a "false king" if he comes into conflict with Sora who may also still yet be the "false light", adding to this idea that Yozora may in fact end up not only a counterpart but initially an enemy to Sora., seeing him as an impostor that must be taken down)... buuuuut on the other hand, I do worry this could also mean the Verum Rex/Versus XIII elements may end up becoming a plot tumour that overtakes the new Kingdom Hearts arc, if Nomura's Revenge is indeed a significant and motivating factor. Also this means Noctis appearing in KH games in the future is less likely and that just does my boy dirty. I wanted to see him and Sora go fishing for Monstro, dangnabbit.

Plus they tried to push it really hard that Yozora looks like Sora in Toy Story world. (Though they also made a Riku mention.) His companions also mirror Donald and Goofy’s class styles. Not saying it’s fact, but I’m pretty sure that’s it.

"Who is Yozora" Nomura's hard on for Fashion Kei personified, thats who.

[@AubreyTheKing]

There's actually more details about Yozora's creation by Nomura. And it's pretty damn sad to hear. Verum Rex and Yozora is actually Nomura's second attempt of his cancel Versus XIII game he created back in 2006. Nomura even admitted he planned Noctis & Sora to collide with each other someday! Sora & Noctis are also Nomura's favorite characters he created! So he really wanted both of them to meet in the same game! Sadly due to development hell of Versus XIII and changing it to Final Fantasy XV, Nomura never got the chance. So now Yoroza is his second chance to redo Noctis all over again. This also means, if Versus XIII went to according to plan and didn't go through any chances, Noctis would have most likely appear in Kingdom Hearts 3! Nomura even wants Verum Rex to be it's own spin-off game to Kingdom Hearts. Again, trying to redo Versus XIII. Deep down, Nomura is really upset he couldn't do Versus XIII and bring Noctis to the Kingdom Hearts universe. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE YOZORA! And I'm DYING to know more about this character! But he'll never replace the original Noctis.

[@GcorpCoPrez]

Just think of Yozora as KH ver. of Noctis. The place where Noctis went to in his many dreams. Noctis and Carbuncle went to dream land and ended up as Yozora and Chirithy.

[@Kyanite484]

My theory is that Yozora is an alternate universe Sora. They got a couple similarities: -Names, duh -Pink haired girlfriend -Magic and Shield party members -Trying to save pink haired girl but being pulled apart -Face looks more like Sora than Riku imo -X-blade like logo on shirt, Sora is current X-blade owner And if Yozora is in the Final World for the Nameless Star then according to the Star Yozora is "Changed beyond recognition, his heart replaced with another's." Meaning Yozora is also "possessed" or something, maybe by alternate universe Riku, which would explain why he's dressed like Riku but looks like Sora.

[@GcorpCoPrez]

Someone mentioned above he has two different eye colors. 🤔 Is he possessed by Masters of Masters? This is the world he fled to the first time to send out his “all seeing eye”. Or what if MoM is an alt sora from an alt world, whatever happened in his world he wanted to do in Sora’s world. Hence sending out his eye to watch and find him. Maybe Yozora wants the X-blade in his world. If Sora still has it when he meets him?

Shocked that I haven't heard a theory about Yozora being an alternate Sora, or maybe even in that 'night sky' version of the final world, that is where Sora (in a way) becomes Yozora (because of the quote they are both sharing). And the reason Yozora is watching over Riku in the Shibuya type world is because there is a connection between the 2 through Sora.... Which could still be backed by the scene in the remind trailer where Sora uses the Kingdom Key on Riku's heart in Riku's station of awakening.

[@megamikex8163]

Basically he's a protagonist from another square enix game

[@motionisdead9796]

Long speculation post yet again, so I'll apologize in advance. Took me really long to come up with any theory regarding his existence, but I think he was concieved from the long lost memories of Sora & Riku inside the "dream of division" before they were born. That wouldn't mean that he is not his own person, or that he isn't from an alternate universe. It'd mean he's tied by fate to be reunited with Sora & Riku & possibly clash with them as well, in-order to create the one and only "True King" who'd be able to wield the key hidden inside the Master's Black Box to hijack Kingdom Hearts & create an omniversal pathway in-order to tame the forces of both light & darkness, who are at War with themselves, since the beginning of time. It sounds ridiculous, but I promise it'll make sense. At first, the one thing that sticks out is the apperance of Yozora, which I guess is not all that different from a fancy mix of Sora & Riku's KH3 clothes. Yozora's hair has the same length and overall shape as Riku's, but at the same time it's slightly curved to the right like Sora's, while Riku's hair is more or less straight(he himself is not). The clothing is totally Riku's with the exception of his T-Shirt & the flipped corners of the jacket. The T-Shirt is black, just like the one in Sora's KH3 outfit, and the flipped out corners have a pattern(just like Sora's) inside of being smooth with a button like in Riku;s outfit. This imbalance is important, because I think it'll esentially be made clear that Yozora is "more Riku than Sora" in a way. We don't know anything about his personality, but we can assume that it's also a mix of Sora's and Riku's personalities, because of the way he talked in the ReMIND(similiar to Riku;s voice) and the what he said there(Sora's KH1 OP quote, especially important, because it shows that he may have a train of thought that is similiar to Sora's). The big thing that is a proof that he is connected to dreams, which opens up my theory are his eyes. Noctis, at some point in the development of Versus XIII, had the ability to speak to the dead through dreams, which I bet that he will retain as dreams are an important concept in KH(he doesn't necessarily have to be able to speak to "dead" as it'd probably be scrapped, because of Disney -- more like just being able to freely dive into dreams whenever he'd desire it and that could've been his way of tinkering with death and destiny like Sora did it with the Power of Waking), but where is the connection? Once again, his eyes. The blue eye, of a Chirithy, a Dream Eater. The red eye, of a Nightmare(the Chirithy overtaken by darkness). We've seen on numerous ocassions that Chirithies have blue eyes, and Nightmares have red eyes. It's a bit of a mysterious connections, because either blue-ish or red-ish eyes don't have a clear indication of what they might be. Being blinded by light doesn't have any physical manifestations implied, and darkness' possession is usually tied in with the yellow eyes like in the case of Aqua, Heartless & so on. But......that's only, because those beings are, or were connected to people? Remember, even Pure Heartless are born from the darkness within people's heart. They aren't really spawn randomly by the darkness itself. What about beings that were created by the light and darkness itself? Vanitas is an example. As far as I know, before taking the shape of Sora, Vanitas was said to have red eyes. After though? His eyes were yellow, that's not because he was connected to Xehanort, but rather because he was connected to Sora & Ventus. He has assumed the shape of Sora, a human, therefore his eye color changed from the true pure darkness(red) to the proxy darkness(yellow). Whether Xehanort did nort him right after he has taken shape, it's up for a debate. Regardless, he'd still be connected to people, norted(connection to Xehanort) or not(connection to Ven and Sora) and that is enough for the eye color change. The Dream Eaters themselves were artificially created, which is why I think they were stored in flask as seen in Back Cover. That'd be to protect them from darkness before they'll be connected to their wielders, who have a better resistance to darkness than they as a beings created from pure light(they could've been created from Lux, but that's a whole another topic). After being tied to their wielders, they die when their wielders does so. They get overtaken by darkness and turned into Nightmares(red eyes), if their wielder does so too. The inseparable connection is what I think is protecting them from either light or darkness(if you're curious, if Nightmares could be taken over by light, I think yeah -- remember that the Nightmare that we've seen in KHUX said that he is connected to a wielder after he/she had fallen to the darkness). We don't have any information about what a being of pure light would look like, but I think the answer may lie in the Master himself. Remember the whole talk about how since the ancient times, the darkness was taking various forms in order to fight the wielders of light in the Keyblade War? The one that the Master talked about just recently? The Master: "Now, the darkness we fought, were they monsters? If I had to say, perhaps they were. They took on the same form as *we did* , though, unlike now. Luxu: "Wow! So they were human...." The Master: "No, I didn't say that....." This segment of the conversation alone tells us that: A) The darkness can assume forms, but so does the light. Why the light too? Because of the already mentioned "They took on the same form as we did" said by the Master. He didn't say "they took the form of our apperance." It was specifically said "as we did" and that's the important part. B) That because darkness & light can assume forms, those 2 forces could have a degree of sentience of their own. That's an unconfirmed speculation though. C) Neither the beings of light(like the Master and his Keyblade peers), nor the beings of darkness were human. It's a back-to-forth confirmation. Luxu assumes here that the Master is a human, but the Master is a being on the side of the light, and retorts with saying that the beings of darkness were not human. If the beings of darkness assumeed the same form as the beings of light, and the Master still didn't refer to either as human, then that means both are not human. So, now you have a basis to think of a reason of the connection between Vanitas(a being of pure darkness that can assume forms) and the Master(a possible being of pure light) and why the Master remains hooded(Clear that the Master looks human, but is not based on what Luxu mentioned and the fact that we've seen his chin in the Secret Ending). Back to the whole Yozora business. There's an existence of pure darkness shaped as a dream, or rather a nightmare by the name of Anti Black Coat Nightmare, which was said by Riku to be Sora's nightmare. Now here, the fun begins. The Anti Black Coat Nightmare has several features that are necessary to be pointed out. First and foremost, red eyes and the fact that it is a Nightmare. Second, ABCN's(this will be an abbreviation of the Anti Black Coat Nightmare) sword is very similiar to Yozora's sword in shape and glow. Third, ABCN's attacks have a mix of sword strikes and laser beam from blasters(Yozora has a blaster/crossbow). The next connection is with Riku. The moment Riku is readying his battle stance, the camera pans to Riku's back to show that he is Sora's Dream Eater as he has a Dream Eater sigil on his jacket. Then, the moment after, the camera shows the ABCN's back, where a Nightmare sigil appears on its back. Sora, at the same time, had a Dream Eater and a Nightmare. They fought in order to free him from his wicked dream. That's an irregularity, sort of the same as Sora existing together with his own Nobody. But the connection of Sora, Riku and the ABCN should be clear, right? Do I believe that ABCN is Yozora? Nah. I do think, however, that ABCN is an unfinished prototype of Yozora that is not human. It's a dream of what Yozora can be. Compare it to how Data-Sora is still Sora, despite being different than Sora at the core of his existence. ABCN would be the Nightmare side of what Yozora is. The whole clash between ABCN & Riku(which looks like Yozora) would be an indication of the connection between Sora, Riku, ABCN & dreams. Let's talk about ABCN's existence for a sec and why I think that Yozora is a human, a being of its own, but formed from Sora's and Riku's memories. To be short & brief, to be able to dream you have to have memories. Sometimes, you have dreams that are completely unrelated to what you've experienced, sometimes you do have parts of the things you remember integrated within them. Now, Chirithy did tell us that the layer of dream is very close to the layer of death, which would make sense to be also the layer of birth, right? The edges of sleep & death touch, at least according to Ven's Chirithy. What if, based on all of the previously assembled points about Dream Eaters, Nightmares and whatnot, Riku & Sora had a huge chunk of their memories sealed away, or forgotten. What if, Yozora is a being created after Sora(prince of light) & Riku(prince of darkness), in their previous lives, died? They'd forcibly divide their memories before dying in their previous lives & form Yozora in order to avoid somebody trying to use them as a way of obtaining Kingdom Hearts. That's why the Master would seek Sora, Riku & Yozora. To assemble them, combine them & created the True King of light and darkness, once that can rebel & overpower the force of light and darkness in order to end the conflict & give eternal peace to all of the people.

What a great read! Very interesting theory.

[@t.hailer]

Its probably Colton Haynes, since Willa Holland is Aqua.

[@boltzthecoolguy2582]

He's a video game character inside the toy story world inside the game kingdom hearts 👌

[@jettfire4424]

I wonder if Yozora is going to be friend or foe because of how he was staring at Riku

[@uberyangster3279]

tbh, I feel like "nomura revenge " was the right move because it got me hella excited for that game to come out lol even tho it's not gonna *sigh* but yeah I really hope we get more gameplay of yozora and how he gonna react to Riku, after all, I too got him to confuse the first time I saw him in the toy story game trailer of Verum Rex.

[@lunarshadow5584]

I...Now that you bring up that Donald and Goofy are like Yozora's companions, I am REALLY thinking that he is meant to be the same as Sora but more Final Fantasy than Disney and Sora just crossed into a whole new universe, one that he isn't meant to be part of because he is the same as Yozora, with minor flips like the Final World(Night version). (Maybe he has a best friend that is light hearted we didn't meet who is full of light until the events of his story brings his friend closer to darkness, likely keeping the love interest away from him, similar to how Riku was keeping Sora away from Kairi.)

[@Sjono]

Nomura’s revenge? Nomura had to direct FFvXIII, KH3 and later FFVIIR at the same time. Dude couldn’t handle all that massive projects at once. Idk why he’d even be mad at Hajime taking over the reins for FFXV. I’m glad that happened because Nomura said multiple times he wouldn’t devote serious attention to KH3 until he was done with FFvXIII(now FFXV)

[@melkyrie9962]

To me Yozora's voice in English sounds like Christian La Monte and in the Japanese version he sounds like Setsuo Itou. On a second listen it could also be Tasuku Hatanaka in Japanese.

[@BackSlashJvb125]

That ffxv music in the beginning tho lol

[@anxietyarmadillo5208]

I’m glad you touched on the Latin translations Nomura is really out to have his own way with his characters and I love it 🤣

[@BrennySpain]

Really in all honest HMK, yozora has to somehow be a combination of both sora and riku. And probably somehow connected to the master of masters too? I don’t know we’ll wait and see. I love the FFXV music you’re using in the background. I still love that game to this day even though it was by no means perfect. It was the first final fantasy game I full beat and feel very satisfied with completing it too. At least storywise...

[@azon7458]

Sounds like the voice actor is David Matranga.

[@GcorpCoPrez]

I just went and listened to that clip. He does sound like him. I would need more lines though just to make sure.

[@thedothackerkeyblademaster]

If I remember correctly, back when Dream Drop Distance was in development, Nomura did say that he'd be reserving any ideas he can't put into Versus XIII for Kingdom Hearts (or something to that effect). While I can't be sure about story ideas, one gameplay element that Nomura wanted to have in Versus XIII was being able to pilot a mech, but that didn't make it into Versus XIII after it'd been re-branded as Final Fantasy XV and Nomura left (or more accurately was forced off) the project. Enter Kingdom Hearts III and you can pilot toy mechs in the Toy Box world.

[@tai030292]

Did anyone point out that Yozora's sword looks like Noctis' red outlined blade? I forgot what it was called but...(I found it. It's Ragnarok). This is becoming to much haha. Riku, Yozora and Noctis all basically being copy pastes. 😱

[@serenityssolace]

Nomura should become CEO and recreate the True Versus in it's full glory. SE is only alive today because of Nomura

[@animegaminglifting]

If Ray Chase (Noctis voice actor) is also Yozora’s voice actor, that would be perfect!

[@dragonblade9180]

I get the feeling that Yozora is going to be Sora's darkness. Kinda how Vanitas is Ven's darkness. Kinda far fetched but hey 😅

[@tigerfestivals5137]

Will we finally have a explanation for anti/rage form then? I bet you Nomura will call back to kh1 anti sora somehow if this is the case

[@KGDavis-fi2tq]

@@tigerfestivals5137 Lol, that is definitely something Nomura would do

[@jamalcolmpayne7938]

@@tigerfestivals5137 iirc Sora's anti form is just from him using the drive forms too much which require a bit of darkness, well minus final form which completely erases the dark effects. Idk if that still applies or if it has been retconned.

[@tigerfestivals5137]

@@jamalcolmpayne7938 I know that's the mechanical explanation but has it ever been confirmed that he uses darkness to turn into drive forms?

[@MrHdog111]

Dragon Blade91 can he be Riku’s pure darkness 🤪

[@dark_ohantom8902]

This is my theory and a good one that could be kinda cool to see so please don’t go pooping on it until you at least read it. My theory is that Sora and Yozora have some connection to MoM (aka Master of Masters) and could possibly be his heart divided so that he could set out to do his master plan, Sora being sent to the world of Kingdom Hearts taking out and fending off the darkness there while learning to wield MoM’s original keyblade. While also honing the same go to lucky attitude he originally had. Yozora however would be born in the real world to protect it to keep the original power of Mom safe, while dawning new skills along with them. This would explain the way they made friends and the women they fall in love with. But, later on their souls would be needed to combine back together so they would get pulls showing each other of their existence in some way. This would explain why and how we see Yozora in/on the tv and posters it was the world showing Sora who he needed to find, while Yozora would also experience a similar situation. After that however, I’ll let anyone else decide the fate of this theory cause that’s all I got honest

[@danielkoch8736]

Its funny that he is the first new Character since Birth by Sleep

[@FlutterSwag]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the emblem on his coat. Its a skull with a crown and 2 keyblades under it... like a keyblade hunter

[@tekunachikushi9847]

I think "104" confirms Sora is in the UG, or the game world of TWEWY, Shibuya. Riku is in Shinjuku, neighboring district and inspiration for FFXV/VXIII's Insomnia and also the setting of New7days of TWEWY sequel (Since Sho said he need a zeta strong partner to beat the Shinjuku Reapers and Neku's vision on Shinjuku in ruins) I don't know what to make of Yozora's skull and keyblade patch, but his eyes somewhat match the different lighting schemes between Sora and Riku, so maybe he'll be hunting them bac and forth?

[@Dreq458]

yozora is strelitzia's murder because why the hell not. he's also luxord's somebody, whom is MoM's best friend from high school who dropped out to shake off his gambling debt collectors. because why the hell not

[@FZone96]

Verum Rex should get his own Spin-Off Series.

[@justaguy2182]

I feel like Yozora Is some alternate reality version of Sora. It would make sense.

[@eddiealva9751]

LegendaryUser i mean, what a coincidence that Yozora is night sky. It could be so many things. I wonder if anyone is right though.

[@BabyGirlTiny]

LegendaryUser no it wouldn’t make sense. Now we’re adding alternate universes into the already convoluted mess that is kingdom hearts. The only thing I can say is that it’s a new start so the idea woudn”t mess up the overall story like the time traveling Xehanort did. I would just need to see how an alternate timeline e would work. Because it’s so pointless

[@justaguy2182]

Homez18 well excuse me for stating my opinion on the internet lol

[@pizzavictory113]

So he’s his own Character Now

[@whales49]

Maybe Yozora is a data version of sorts? Its a videogame (digitalized) character, magic user (donald) and defender type (goofy) as companions and also a girl on the group (kairi) resembling exactly the party that we have. Yozoras appearence can be explained that both Sora and Riku are on the same data space similar as the dream worlds, they shared moments such as Eternal Session. Plus we already know that digital and data exists on KH universe.

[@atlusxp6869]

i legit thought yozora was noctis and i screamed NOCTIIS when he woke up in the car
