    Xehanort is a child of destiny that was needed for the Master of Master to forward his plan. Xehanort's future was 100% overwritten by the MoM for the MoM plan once he created the Book of Prophecies. After all the MoM saw the normal flow to the future and much later Keyblade War he saw he decided to speed up the timetable for.
    However, I do believe that Xehanort wasn't the first nor the last to have the gift of heart that can reach others.... this is a gift I think all new hearts have but forget. Sora kept a piece of this and worked hard to make more connections. Xehanort bloodline on the other hand had a natural strong connection that only was intensified because of lineage. He easily could read people's hearts without a thought, it came super naturally to him. Sore meet Ventus when he was a baby basically and had similar feelings to each other. So Sora kept his connection to Ventus... And then because he chose to house Ventus later on he left himself more open to other connections. Sora been working on this gift slowly all his life. Every time he reaches out there has been a wall but Sora doesn't give up he kept fighting for others when he's weaker than his enemy or any obstacle in his path.
    My Friends are my Power is very literal to him because he keeps forging connections to others.
    Sora is still not a child of destiny like Xehanort. Sora is Son Goku refusing to give up, when others say he will never measure up to "REAL keyblade masters" that have generations that have hone their craft. Sora is more like a first keyblade wielder before there were techniques and rules and shortcuts that had to learn and forge ahead blindly into the unknown. The keyblade chose him after Riku because of his heart that's willing to move forward to matter the Obstacle. Sora is a genuine wild card that the MoM would hate, because how can a "nobody" with "no importance" defy fate.

I don't think Xehanort was a child of destiny, yes the player calls him that but luxu outright denies it in the end, no? the player says the child of destiny will be born from the isles of destiny. But Xehanort wasn't born there, just raised. I think the player and his allies tried to force this destiny on Xehanort without realizing it, resulting in the villain we get.
      But you know who does seem to be born on destiny islands?

    So, I forget who said this during their reaction to the finale, but someone pretty much hit it spot on. When it comes to this “child of destiny” business, Xehanort is to Anakin what Sora is to Luke. Only difference is I think Player (and presumably the family Xehanort would have belonged to) chose to believe that Xehanort was the CoD because of the abilities of his heart and the Ephemer bloodline… and apparently how easy it is to just grab a baby and take him to the world the CoD was prophesied to “hail from” to further their agenda of realizing the prophecy. Bragi also said “no chosen one yet… but Xehanort may be useful” meaning Xehanort didn’t make the cut, the Missing Link cast just believed what they wanted to believe.

    Part of me believes that Xehanort WAS a child of destiny early in life. But once the Master of Masters interfered on a false assumption that Xehanort was the singularity, that privilege may have been revoked and eventually given to Sora after enough time had passed. Xehanort was meant to carry out what Sora eventually did, being able to see an inescapable fate and change it anyway. It also adds additional weight to Xehanorts defeat in KH3. He was supposed to be the one to save the world, and decided that mission was better placed in Sora's hands.

    After the Dark Road Finale, my final theory pertaining to the Book of Prophecies played everyone due to its ambiguous scripture.
    Xehanort is the Child of Prophecy, since the book revolves around "a child" with latent abilities and darkness prevailing while.light expires. After the descruction of Daybreak Town, people would search for the CoP, but never find him. Insert Player 2.0 (or the era of Missing Link)
    Player 2.0 is either - the one to find or, given the task of watching over Xehanort, seeing how he has natural ability to connect with hearts, and is a descendant of Ephemer.
    Knowing the trauma Ephemer experienced in his first lifetime, and having lived a second lifetime, Player would shelter Ephemer's great great grandchild, Xehanort, on Destiny Islands. This act of heroism would fall right into the MoM's plans.
    Sheltered and given false bravado, Xehanort would become the dark singularity. Exemplified by his courage to take off his armor in the dark maelstrom. His hesitation against Baldr. Bestowment of No Name. And his possessions of multiple vessels across time itself.
    A Child of Prophecy guided down a dark road, leading to darkness winning in the end.
    Sora, being born from Destiny Islands would be an ordinary kid but his pure heart would allow him to "house hearts" not solely able to read or purge them.
    This ordinary kid would be able to house Ven (an ambiguously known keyblade weilder from an Age past). Purge Worlds. Purge Anselm. Save Riku. House Roxas. Take a Mark of Mastery exam. Dive into the realm of sleep. And possess others as an apparition of light. Another singularity.
    All while not being of heritage or having a proper bestowment ritual..
    Xehanort is a CoP. Sora is a CoP. The Book of Prophecies left it ambiguous so naturally we would believe there's only a singular child of prophecy. Singularities of their respective Ages.
    Tl : Dr - Sora is the Child of Prophecy for the new Age. The MoM recognizes this, but needed Xehanort to take the fall from grace to pave the way for Sora.

    • @nox_cadit
      @nox_cadit 2 роки тому +1

      You forgot one thing that they talk about a few times in the finale, the Dark Seeker.
      We (player character) tell child Xehanort that the CoP must be careful or else their heart would be tainted by people that would surely want to do so.
      That's what happens to Xehanort, he still have the powers related to the CoP but, like you said, he fallen from grace, he became the singularity, the Dark Seeker, another person that the book talk about, Odin and Luxu also talk about the DS.
      I believe that's why Sora has become the CoP, not because he was born to be, but because he's been molded to become the CoP since really young, after mending Vents heart by connecting his own to Ventus'.

    • @rob19ny
      @rob19ny 2 роки тому +1

      Why did you put house Roxas? Roxas is Sora's nobody so he was suppose to rejoin with Sora so Sora could be whole again. Doesn't matter if Roxas developed his own heart during the 1 year because he is a nobody. Roxas' (and Namine) method of returning to his original self was just a different and simplier process than the other nobodies (heartless and nobody die, respectively). If you put "house Roxas" for Sora then you have to say "house Namine" for Kairi as it is not unique to Sora.

    @wolfywonder8480 2 роки тому +3

    So with all the Norse symbolism with the names, I got to thinking and I believe that the initial assumptions that Eraqus was meant to represent Thor and Xehanort was meant to represent Loki were actually wrong; instead, I believe the opposite is true. Eraqus accidentally incites the events that lead to Baldr’s fall like Loki does in the story of Ragnarok. Loki’s three children bring down most of the Gods, but in this context I believe this can be interpreted as various mistakes on Eraqus’ part leading to the eventual demise of Xehanort. Baldr parallels with Loki’s daughter Hel, in that he uses the domain of the dead to severely weaken Xehanort and friends, and is heavily tied to both taking lives and being involved with the lives and deaths of several deceased characters. Ventus parallels somewhat cleanly with the Fenrus Wolf (Fenrir), in that he initially trusts Xehanort, but he is betrayed and kept stuck somewhere so as to mitigate his capability for destruction. In trying to kill him, Eraqus unintentionally delivers the betrayal that sends Ventus over the edge and into facing Xehanort. And finally, Sora would then parallel Jörmungandr (the world serpent/snake). He doesn’t have a direct correlation to Eraqus, however Eraqus’ teachings have influenced him in that two of the master’s pupils interacted with him on some level and influenced him. This delayed reaction is very similar to how Jörmungandr was cast into the sea and largely forgotten until he rose during Ragnarok and killed Thor, having become massive while unsupervised in the ocean. He poisons Thor, but Thor actually kills him first, very much like how Sora has to reverse time to undo the light’s initial failure to stop Xehanort’s machinations in KH3 but ultimately wins. I know it’s not the cleanest comparison, but I find it interesting

    In the endind Luxu as Bragi says something in the lines of "So it wasnt you, but xehanort can still be useful". I think he comes to that conclusion because instead of trying to save Baldr, Xehanort eliminates him, something that the true child of destiny would never do (Sora).
    The player seems to be mislead because of the prophecy and the fact that Xehanort is related to Ephemer, but he says the prophecy of the child of destiny is related to someone from Destiny Islands, leading me to believe that the true child of destiny really is Sora.

    The way I put it together points towards Sora still being the “child of destiny” (presumably this prophecy is revealed in Missing Link) because of a few clues - Player 2.0 says the child of destiny would hail from the “isles of destiny”… and takes Baby Xehanort to Destiny Islands after he’s born only for him to go right back to Scala ad Caelum, and while Xehanort and Baldr were both pretty good examples of special characters with open hearts per se, I might even go a step further and say that since Missing Link will focus on bloodlines, I even feel as though Baby Xehanort being the great-great-grandson of Master Ephemer might have swayed false belief that the baby was the child of destiny.

Unless Mickey's trip to scale will show they are still a thing, but if so then that opens a whole other can of worms on why they where not involved in stopping Xehanort, and why Yen sid didn't send Riku Sora Kairi and Lea there to train instead. So I am asuming no other keyblade masters/wielders are left by the time of BBS even. Eraqus and his 3 aprentices being the last active ones. So by that logic I cant imagine Yen sid was of some other tower or city, because then there should be more of them. To be fair dark road opend the door to a lot of plot holes (Untill solutions are given) like indeed the lack of keyblade wielders between their youth and the time Eraqus takes on aprtentices. If Scala was one big keyblade school, where is everyone else? Or did everyone die during that attack and where Eraqus and Xehanort the sole survivors? (And Odin..) Yen sid could be odin with a new name I suppose but that doesnt seem to be the case so far. Maybe Odin took another aprentice after he retired, maybe he trained Yen sid on the little world he retired too. And then Yen sid stayed on that world after odin passed. Which became Yen sids tower.

    I just finished KH:DR hours ago, and I believe that The Player assuming Xehanort for the Chosen Child of Destiny is because during this lifetime they were living Xehanort just seemed like the natural best bet, especially considering his lineage and his ability to sense hearts and peer into people's memories. It may have even been true at the time, but when his heart began to fall to darkness, the blessing as a child of destiny, like a keyblade sometimes does, went away and into the heart of another.
    I do agree that in the present of the game series that Sora and/or Riku are the current Children of Destiny, Riku sharing the obvious signs and even some choices like Xehanort while Sora was basically chosen by destiny itself and surprisingly (or not for some) best fits the job description.

  • @SubduedRadical
    @SubduedRadical 2 роки тому +1

    I'm not QUITE certain Xehanort IS the Child of Destiny.
    Player kind of implies he might not be (I forget the exact wording, but "maybe not" kind of a thing), and Luxu says that line in the graveyard about "Not the chosen one...but maybe he can still be useful".
    Taken together, I think Xehanort IS special, but the Child of Destiny is PROBABLY Sora (given the stuff about connecting people's hearts and how Namine has said Sora's heart is connected to so many people). This doesn't diminish Xehanort's power or special-ness, but does make me wonder.
    The BIG twist to me is that Xehanort - or _A_ Xehanort - may still be alive. The scene where he's playing chess and says he needs more lifetimes. When Eriquas asks how many, he first says 13, but then says something like "No, wait, 14. I'd need one more to see how it all turns out" after summoning Kingdom Hearts. We've met all the 13 in KH3 in the final clashes of the 13 Darknesses with the 7 Lights...but he specifically mentioned 14...

    I think the focus on bloodlines has two purposes - 1. Maybe to replace the artificial choice that Unions provided 2. To trivialize other characters’ importance so that it’s certain characters’ bloodlines vs Sora’s being a rando destined to save the world from darkness. Sora’s less “special” if he’s just destined, but the more we’re persuaded to think characters besides Sora are only similarly special due to sharing blood with other characters of import, the more special Sora appears to be, destiny or not.

Another thing I noted was how the Player said they lived 2 lifetimes, whether their current one in that moment was their second or third I'm not really sure, but clearly Missing Link is going to be us playing their second lifetime so that's going to be exciting :D

    My theory for where Yen sid was during all this: He was not on scala at all. Eraqus Xehanort and Odin where the only survivors. (Because if not where the hell are all the other masters and wielders when things go bad for terra aqua and ven, and after that Riku Sora and Kairi.. and why does Yen sid not send them to train in scala if things are still running there..) Odin retired to some small world. My theory is he found Yen sid there, and despite his traumas and original plans he ends up taking on one final aprentice after all, to teach him all he knew, mistakes included. Yen sid inherited the place after Odin died, which became Yen sid's tower.

Considering how the replicas work, the 14th vessel can't be a time traveling version of Xehanort. I think Xehanort intended his Quadratum self to live indefinitely in Quadratum after the Keyblade War. It can't be Xehanort himself, his spirit clearly left with Eraqus... unless he sent empty vessels to Quadratum and that scene in KH3 of them ascending to heaven was them really going to Quadratum to inhabit the vessels! Quadratum is connected to the Final World after all!

    I'm convinced Sora is the child of destiny and not Xehanort. It was not a reveal that it was Xehanort but rather just exposition on what the child of destiny is. The player character believes Xehanort is the child of destiny but even they say it may be too soon to tell. But the description of the child perfectly aligns with Sora. A child from destiny islands who can connect his heart with others to become one.
    Furthermore, Bragi/Luxu at the end says "guess it wasn't him afterall" which I believe means that Luxu thought Xehanort was the child of destiny but turns out he wasn't. Then again when Xehanort brings Ventus to Eraqus, he says he believes Ventus could be the one. Xehanort believes at that point that maybe Ventus is the child of destiny.

I imagine them being the same age as Brain, who seems to be Eraqus's grandfather. And if player remembered their last life, Sora probably would know as well, unless the memories become unlocked as they age, which is possible.

Makes me wonder if he's actually in Eph's bloodline and that one wasn't a one off reference meant to be discarded after III. So I wonder if Sora is part of Xehanort's family tree, but decided to do what Xehanort did in another way.
      I also didn't forget that Xehanort is an anagram of another and no heart with an "X" tacked on. Makes me wonder if he was a vessel of someone else instead of Luxu (when he ended up being Bragi/Braig/Xigbar), like maybe the Master of Masters since regardless of what they did Xehanort (in Terra's body of course)/Xemnas was always apprentice/nobody #1 and Braig/Xigbar was apprentice/nobody #2.
      Master of Masters probably has a lot of tricks to survive this long under his sleeve too, like his second in command foreteller Luxu.
