Kingdom Hearts Dark Road Spoilers

Interesting info on Xehanort’s Past.

Here is what I suspect is going on(Major Spoilers):

I suspect that the reason for Emblem Heartless being present being due to the Book of Prophecies in the Black Box. Furthermore I suspect they were generated by the Black Box so that Keyblade Wielders could release the Hearts inside them causing said Hearts to be recompleted as people.

Hearts becoming Heartless isn’t the result of Hearts being corrupted by a foreign force but the result of them being turned back into what they were when the Book of Prophecies made them.

As for the missing Upperclassmen: Luxu/Xigbar ripped out their Hearts while possessing Bragi…

Now on to the fate of Xehanort and Eraqus’s classmates: Luxu killed them sending them to where Sora and Kairi are going AKA the Verum Rex World… I noticed that the guy with the hat in Verum Rex had the same Eye and Hair Color as Bragi…

I have no doubt that Xehanort killed Bragi in retaliation for his friends’ demise little realizing that the murderer ditched the body and possessed Braig. Why was Xehanort’s friends killed? So that Xehanort would get the No Name Keyblade of course!

Eraqus of course was not fit to get it since he was the cowardly type though his master Odin saw the value of putting him in charge of Scala ad Caelem since he knew his idea of running would make him focus on hiding himself and the Keyhole away from enemy eyes.

Eraqus’s cowardly nature is what caused him to shun all Darkness.

What like Eraqus and others from Scala ad Caelem did not realize was that their kind was immune to becoming like the Heartless we see since they aren’t descended from Heartless from the Book of Prophecies.

Xehanort being the Player of Kingdom Hearts Union X was also immune and instead became Ansem Seeker of Darkness. No doubt the Upperclassmen are also Humanoid Heartless wandering around at the same time as their Nobodies.

The fact that Xigbar was able to be recompleted is unsurprising due to the fact that the Host’s Heart was what became a Heartless while Luxu remained inside the Nobody.

Of course if that’s the case than is Lauriam and Elrena’s Heartless Humanoid? Probably.

Infact the fact that Darkness/Vanitas who possessed Ven’s Body shares Lauriam’s silhouette indicates that Vanitas is Lauriam’s Heartless which means that both his Birth By Sleep death and Kingdom Hearts 3 death recompleted Lauriam after each of Marluxia’s deaths.

Of course that also means someone has been offing Elrena’s Heartless twice… Considering how Larxene’s Character File shows her despising the Heart and emotions I would assume the Heartless used her own Keyblade on herself.

Xehanort seems like a punk that needs dealt with

Xehanort is dealt with in KH3. Luxu and the Master of Masters are the main problems now.

Since there are games outside of Melody of Memory(either 7 or 2 Games) that are yet to be announced I assume 1 Game will involve Sora and Kairi dealing with the world of Verum Rex(rescuing Xehanort and Eraqus’s 4 Classmates from the Afterlife) while the other Games will involve Roxas, Xion and Axel facing the Nobodies of Scala ad Caelum’s Upperclassmen and Aqua, Terra and Ventus facing their Humanoid Heartless!

The 3 Games would likely involve clashes against Death(Verum Rex), Nothingness(Roxas, Xion and Axel/Lea’s Game) and Darkness(Aqua, Terra and Ven’s Game).

I loved KH1, hated Chain of Memories, and was let down by 2. I stopped there.

After reading this, I am sooooooooooooooooooo glad I did.

I think it’s interesting how Dark Road is implying that Heartless are just Shadow Elementals separated from their Bodies by the Keyblade and forced into Human Bodies only to break free and return to their original state due to being reminded of their true nature.

Hearts when separated from their bodies will reform their bodies if a proper vessel is around and someone remembers them.

This even happens if they are in an another body like the Heartless(who are sent to the bodies of people), Xion(trapped inside Sora but was drawn into the Replica her past self was inhabiting), Roxas(who was inside Sora’s body but later used a Replica as a means of reforming) and Terra(who was forced into the Shadow Elemental Guardian created by Xehanort)

Post being restored by Kairi has made Sora’s true form a Human-shaped Shadow Elemental…which he turns into when enraged.

Aqua’s true form is Anti-Aqua due to absorbing Xehanort’s Darkness.

Xehanort’s true form is a Sentient Robed Shadow Elemental due to abusing the Strength Bangle and absorbing the Darkness of Heartless/Shadow Elementals.

If Someone started arranging for the Hearts of Light Elementals to be shoved into Human Bodies we might start seeing a Light Elemental invasion of the Worlds… Add Death Elementals on top of this and we get a 3 way invasion of Worlds.
