Yozora's TRUE Identity (The Case of Yozora Theory)

[@ThePonderer]

I’m really hoping that we’re DONE done with any form of Xehanort as a major player in Sora and co’s story going forward, personally.

[@BriskApollo]

I’m sure moving forward the main focus will be on the Master of Masters. I just wouldn’t be surprised if he had something to do with all this and is using Xehanort’s research for his own benefit

[@davrose27]

@@BriskApollo To me I feel like the nomura art of Young Xehanort will be a casual character in Quadratum opposite to the Kingdom Hearts reality version of him. I bet Sora gave Xehanort peace to enjoy a new reality and that's what we see

[@deggyG]

Yeah, I’m only wanting Xehanort to appear as either in soul form as a form of guidance or if he does get a 14th life that it’s Young Xehanort but with a reincarnated Master Xehanort’s soul, one that knows that he lost to Sora, and thus will help Sora in his journey. Yozora, on other hand, needs to either be a character we’ve seen like Brain or someone that will be introduced in Missing Link. If that doesn’t happen, we need a Verum Rex game to truly show us who Yozora is.

[@Slater2113]

Almost certainly we’ll still be dealing with YX at some capacity. I think we’re done with old man and his role as a villain.

[@DemiTrusdale3]

There’s a small chance there’s a 14th Xehanort somewhere. But I only say that because young Xehanort said it in dark road. 13 Xehanorts to carry out his plan, 1 Xehanort to explore the new world after his plans were done. 🤷‍♂️

[@snowarmth]

I think that Sora's presence in that world allows Light and Darkness to be concepts in that world too. Which would make his act of heroism against them something.. dark..

[@PurpleFX1]

1:54 Well it isn't the literal real world by definition, in Nomura's recent interview he states that he "finds it harder to gets immersed in worlds that are entirely fictional with no connection to reality, why is why Quadratum is based on Shibuya but isn't the real Shibuya. I'm fascinated by the idea of a slightly-off kitler version of reality"

[@Phero124]

I always thought 'unreality' was an entire realm of scrapped final fantasy projects since that was the origin of Verum Rex, afterall. It makes sense in a meta way, since those games aren't 'real' to us, yet they still exist in the minds of the people at Square who worked on them Yet the idea of Quadratum being a sort of digital liminal space that connects the Disney universe, FF universe, and our reality does make alot of sense to, hmmm...

[@HunterStiles651]

I think you're both overthinking it. If computer programs and dreams can be their own living, breathing worlds, why *not* fictional universes? If there are hearts all around us and all we need to do to make them become real is to see them, why *shouldn't* little Jimmy watching Dragon Ball Z somehow cause that entire world to manifest?

[@Phero124]

@HunterStiles651 I feel like that's what I'm saying, tho? The only difference is that my example was unfinished FF games and their developers. Yours was, uh, Dragon Ball Z and lil' Jimmy down the road?? Edit: Don't get me wrong, I love DBZ, it'd be rad as hell to see sora helping with Demon King Piccolo or sumn, I just don't thing that's very plausible

[@HunterStiles651]

@@Phero124 Basically, what I'm trying to say is that "The World of Unreality" is various fictional universes brought to life in the same way Andy brought his toys to life. The worlds were originally fiction, but they resonated with someone, and since once you see a heart it becomes "real", the worlds were manifested as physical locations within the World of Unreality. "Little Jimmy watching Dragonball Z" was just a metaphor for a child watching their favorite show.

[@Phero124]

@HunterStiles651 I do like that interpretation, actually. The biggest problem with it, i think, isn't even a metaphysics thing, just beaurocracy and copyrights. With the imagination realm idea, it'd be a fight for every IP they use

[@davrose27]

You've just expanded on my theory of Yozora who interacted with Sora was an avatar, since his quotes was odd. Great video to really feed my thoughts on something that I had in mind since Re:Mind 👍

[@yderga8707]

I believe the reason Yozora was in disbelief that who was standing in front of him was Sora, is because Sora exists in a time loop, and alternate versions of him (ones without Kairi) fell into the darkness with Riku and most likely turned in extreme menaces. This might be the reason why Kairi was sent to the Destiny Islands to begin with, as Xehanort was obviously told something from MoM about the future. This might be the cause behind Vanitas appearance looking like an adult Sora with Ansem, seeker of darkness clothes (the same ones dark riku wears). As Vanitas most likely stemmed from the darkness that Ventus took in in Union X. I believe that darkness is Soras darkness, or a version of his from another timeline. I think this is why Yozora meets Sora with hostility right off the bat despite knowing him.

[@sonic4life]

Idk, when he says "how do you recognize me as Yozora", it makes me think that he's not in his real body, but he was in fact Yozora. Then there's him returning to his reality.

[@鹿野修哉-u2k]

Nameless Star: Someone stole the name and physical appearance of Namless Star (in a view of VR analogy her avatar and pseudo are stolen) >She affirm her friend (Yozora) has his physical appearance stolen too (may or may not suggest his name is robbed too) >The one standing in a different heart, the friend must recover his original heart Yozora affirms this is isn't his actual physcal appearance. In the exchange, He suggest 'Yozora' is his name but it should not belong to the physical body. One way, unless there are proper japanese translator. Looks like there is a tricky deception

[@sonic4life]

@鹿野修哉-u2k that's why I'm confused about the theory lol. Are they saying that the person we fought was Xehanort in Yozora's body? Or are they saying it was Yozora with someone else's body (which is what I think)? Or were they saying there was a totally different scene in the background where Xehanort was fighting another version of Sora?

[@deggyG]

But I do like your theory of having the beginning of KH4 being Yozora’s deep dive where he battles Sora at the first boss battle. And just like with remind, it would continue no matter win or lose. That would then become the canonical way of how the scene went. But yes I’ve been thinking for a while that if we don’t have a Verum Rex game coming that Yozora’s trials (and thus gameplay as Yozora) needs to be in KH4.

[@nullspace9927]

"The other side" - is the key. It is phrase that means beyond death. In Quadratum, the world's of Kingdom Hearts are "the other side" from it's perspective. All world's share the same sky. One light, one fate. Fate -> Death. Sora reweaved fate and became fictional to his world. Thus he ended up in Quadratum, the other side. Yozora and Sora I believe are incarnations of the same person. As to why Yozora says he looks different, well if he reincarnated then of course he would look different. That would also explain why he believes Sora was not Sora. There are more incarnations. But how can there be multiple incarnations moving about? Fictional world, beyond death time and space are illusions. I wonder if the Master of Masters is also another incarnation of Sora.

[@nickynegron3515]

This theory doesn't hold much weight thanks to the actual lore and cuts cents provided around the Yozora battle. Namely, him and the obvious Somebody of Luxord driving down a highway. Quadrature, to Yozora, was something of a Sleeping World, as he woke up in that car

[@Sykamori]

I think yozora is Riku’s nobody

[@_Persephone_]

I think you’re right. He looks like Riku and also his clothing is similar but has got aspects of death and also has Roxas symbol. It feels as though it could very well be Riku’s nobody and would make sense from what we know.

About the Xehanort artwork you mention at 6:50, people think it's Miyashita Park which is in Shibuya. Just like how MoM is standing on the Square Enix headquarters in the KH3 secret ending and how the building with the escaltors in the KH4 trailer was where the KH 20th anniversary event was held, the artwork is most likely implying that a 14th vessel is in Unreality.

[@ameliorategrey]

Isn't Cocoon the order of soldiers Lightning hails from in Final Fantasy 13, along with Yosora being based off the prototype of the FF15 main character when it was called FF13 Versus? There might be a cipher of the languages used, given that.

[@BriskApollo]

I originally factored in FF13 into this theory because of the billboards and crystallization, but figured it would of been too much of a stretch 😅

[@MiguelMartinon]

Watch, I’m calling it, Kh4 will confirm that Yozora is Noctus’ nobody

[@LoveToTalkCrap]

I think Sora and Destiny Island has always been from the real world low key and got taken out they world and so did Xehnort back then. And went to the unreal worlds like disney worlds and others. Which mean Yozora is from this real reality world too. So Square Enix is trying to put are real reality into the game as a World. That makes it kinda interesting. Cause if that is true that they making Quadratum a reality real world of our world Its gonna change some things
