Glad to see I’m not the only one who gets on the “Mickey was Riku’s true master” soapbox 😤😤😤 Terra was like the dead beat dad who gave birth to Riku’s powers then never came around again 🤣

Terra gets no love lol. But I took what he said differently. When Terra tells Riku “I have nothing left to teach you” I took it as Riku had grown and learned so much while Terra was away, and now that Terra is back, there’s nothing left for HIM to teach Riku.

It’s actually kind of eerie how much of what Xehanort did mirrors what we know about the true Darknesses, especially when it comes to his actions as Ansem SoD- casting away his form and possessing others- and I think maybe that was the point. As MoM’s plan unfolds, the knowledge and experience the Guardians of Light gained from overcoming all of Xehanort’s schemes will be beyond crucial in the upcoming fight. In other words, regardless of whether or not he intended it, Xehanort was actually preparing the heroes to face the true Darknesses this whole time.

A scene where terra talks about having nothing to teach to Riku, he means he was supposed to become riku's master but thinks wend differently and Riku is now a master. Terra can't teach him anything.

So that Terra line, I guess it was a slight mistranslation. It was actually supposed to mean that Terra had nothing to teach Riku, not Terra had actually taught Riku.

I would actually disagree that Master of Masters is emotionless. If anything, I think his whole plan is founded on his emotions, especially his grudge against darkness.

The master is masters is such a interesting character

Gotta say, this is a well thought out theory! I especially appreciate you elaborating on "Riku's resistance to Darkness" thing. Given what the Master of Masters wants to do, I could easily see a scenario in a future game where he approaches Riku and tries to persuade him (or even coerce him, given his deep longing to end all Darkness) to become one of his vessels to house one of the Darknesses. Why? Well, as far we can tell, Ava jumped ship after learning the truth about the Master; she's doing all she can to defy his orders, so that means the Master's down one vessel. Riku could easily fill that slot - not to mention give him an interesting role for the future of the series: having his resistance pushed to its limits while also warring with whether or not the Master is right in doing this alongside the Foretellers; the possibility of it all makes my brain buzz with excitement. OwO I really hope they something with Riku in terms of development beyond saving Sora. I know his arc finished in DDD and KHIII, but I can't help but feel like this is a new and exciting direction they could take his character, so long as Nomura plays his cards right. Once again, awesome theory!

Skept around a bit but I agree completely. When you think about it, Xehanort was really the MoM beta testing the darkness killing plan. As you said, MoM thought Xehanort would be fit to be a Darkness and was and so gave him that gentle push in the KB Graveyard...and then Xehanort's own over zealousness and probably subconscious desire through his respective Darkness caused him to carry out the exact plan except fragmenting himself into 13 much like Darkness' original intent to infect others--except of course his goal was Kingdom Hearts. And given that Xehanort for all intents and purposes was so damn successful doing this and forced Sora to make another world line to avert his win, even one Darkness is clearly too much of a threat to just let them vibe, so I'm very curious what exactly MoM has learned from this multi-world scale expirement. This series is truly small chess games between Light and Dark with no true winner lmao

Idk I feel like it will be revealed the Master of Masters is Sora ...He has spent this whole time trying to save Kairi and it's kind of set up she will have to find him. I think in the end she will save Sora but die in the process and because Sora can become so desperate he abuses a power that allows him to travel back in time to a past self to try and recorrect mistakes he thought he made setting up an endless time loop all while at the same time letting us see what FFvsIIIX would be

I think that we need to know what Riku has actually done before we can guess if that is really what MoM wants the foretellers to do. I could very easily see it going either way. Either MoM is going to be very happy about what Riku did and what he is. Or MoM is going to think Riku is an Abomination that needs to be destroyed. And until we see what MoM causes to happen about Riku, or maybe an interaction between the two I don't think we can guess which one it is. As for Riku's master. He darn well taught himself and that mouse had almost nothing to do with it. Granted neither did Terra, but at lest Terra admits that he had nothing to do with teaching Riku, and has nothing more to teach him. Honestly I think Terra's line Limit cut likely lost something in translation. Terra is a great character and I could honestly see him being a great teacher after everything that has happened so far. Granted I don't think either Terra or Aqua are actually ready to teach anyone. But Aqua's judgmental nature, pride, and inability to allow others to help and make their own choices makes her A LOT less ready to teach then Terra is. Maybe if they where able to trust each other and work together as the equals they are then their flaws would become strengths and they would be ready to teach. As for the 20th event. I really think we will get information on DR and the first trailer for the game that is going to come out this year. Anything more then that is wish list at this point. Overall I am very much looking forward to a few hours.

just binged your 2 other most recent videos and i’m proud to say that it was solid theory and i fw you heavy gang

I like this channel. I've always been obsessed with Kingdom Hearts. Thanks for these. It'll be nice to see your come up 🖤

@TheHeartsDivergence Hi, this is my first time finding your channel. I was led here by your previous 2 videos and decided to watch this one as well. As a KH fan from the beginning I must say this was delightful to listen to. One thing I would add to the point of Xehanort's heart being strong enough to control darkness without being consumed by it is the point that in KHUX we find that the player character dies and is reborn as Xehanort. The strength from the player's heart is combined with his giving him, I feel, the potential to grow into the capable weilder that the M.O.M predicted he would be. It's literally the players knowledge and training from the events of the past dealing with light that is protecting him. Only thing needed after that was the knowledge and training of darkness and the knowledge about the world's and Kingdom Hearts itself to push everything forward for Xehanort. This is just to add to the discussion. Great job.

Great content! Thanks for the hard work, I'm enjoying watching your videos!

Great content keep up the hard work it will pay off 💯🔥

Great video and love your thoughts on xehanort having a true darkness from the passed within as he dose have the players heart within him it may be possible,keep up the great work.:)

I must say it's a relief to finally know about most of the MoM plans, and I must say those plans of him makes it difficult to imagine him and the foretellers as the future antagonists of KH 4. If the MoM is just to find vessels with a heart strong enough so the darkness can't possess nor control them, then his plan is basically to jail the 13 darknesses so they can no longer hurt and spread darknesses around the worlds. How is Nomura gonna do to give a reasons for Sora & co to oppose the Master of Masters then ? Unless like you said, the true darkness may prove itself harder to control than planned, and MoM may be willing to go as far as to annihilate the darkness and their vessels in order to completely get rid of it.

Your clowning on Terra is hilarious xD You'd get along with a certain Hectic Theorist ;) Anyways, I love your theories! You're very well spoken and have a great sense of humor and comedic timing! I can't wait to see more of your ideas! Keep up the great work! And may your heart be your guiding key!

Love your video man and plus your character design I'm trying to make mine right now I will tap into Kingdom hearts topic but I had to get through mines first I think it'll be very interesting to Titan Kingdom hearts into reality of life thank you

Get this guy some subscribers goddamn his videos are amazing

the master of masters is the guy with the blue hair at the end of kh3 playing frisbee. MoM is afraid to take his robe off and the blue hair guy still has his robe on even when everything is done.

Your theory is short one thing. It wasn't just asem that had a hold on riku's heart it was Terra. Remember he was the heartless that protected the body of asem and had his mouth sealed the whole time. You could say terra was sending whispers to riku the whole time. You could also say that's why he was really picked for his connection to Terra. However this doesn't stop Mickie from being his true master.

I get the feeling that The Master of Masters and whoever Darkness originally was are game pieces of the Same Higher Dimensional Being. That is why they are "friends". Also, about M.O. M, I think maybe....just maybe...... the Master of Master is a piece of Kingdom Hearts, the God/Goddess of this Reality. So he literally wrote the characters, Sora and Riku, and "he" therefore, is their Mother.

You are pretty good at this . You should make more videos 🙂

Hmmmm, didn’t they state it had been a year since the end of kh3 ? Terra had trained him in that year. I see Mickey as Rikus spiritual guide and friend but when it comes to keyblades and darkness terra has the experience needed to guide Riku. He was the only person to defeat Master xehanort by himself.

What if sora is still asleep from the first night on drstiny island and the master of masters stands for MOM, but literally and shes trying to wake sora up.

I don't think that M.O.M.'s plan would work because his apprentices ended up starting a war in his Absence and Didn't even see it through causing countless sacrifices and casualties for a war they never believed in and didn't have the heart so see finished. I instead think that the 13 darkness's need to be reunited with the 7 princess of light to reforge the true Kingdom Key. And that's something I don't see people addressing, The Darkness's cast off their forms to attack peoples hearts directly so why couldn't the beings of light do the same? Throwing off their physical forms to ward off the darkness that now plagues all the worlds. I really want to see more about the 7 princesses of light and if they are sentient like the 13 Darkness's.

Mickey being Riku’s true Keyblade Master, now that I can see. 🙂 Unless there’s further evidence that proves that Terra is his "True Keyblade Master", the bequeathing ceremony in BBS doesn’t count (well i mean besides that event in BBS)… I’m going to stick with King Mickey as his Keyblade Master, Mentor, and friend.

I like this video...the only thing that gives me caution with MoM being right is we dont actually know what the Darkness''s motivation is or if they are even evil outside of them merely wanting to exist... Darkness is very much stated to be a necessary force in the KH universe and from what we saw from Vanitas, There was some genuinely human moments from him and his death was at least sympathetic and not antagonistic towards Sora. MoM is already turning out to be a great villain, but we are very much getting things from his biased viewpoint and it will be interesting to see how our protagonists react to Darkness now that it is no longer an existential threat with Xehanort being gone

everyone thought he was xigbar but he was lxlu this whole time and the master of masters is still a mystery of who the is he question

Terra's face is in Ansem, Seeker of Darkness's face. Riku say that face drove him to keep going. Further, Terra, is in the Guardian. So, by Riku/"Ansem" learning to control "him", he learn to channel Darkness better.

If Riku gained strength from being coveted by the darkness and can now utilize the darkness imagine how strong xehanort is going to be since he is good now

Mickey being Riku's master was up for debate? Personally, I think there were "Willful Lights" and MOM is one of them. His desire to destroy the Darkness makes a lot more sense that way. Or its going to be something stupid like Kingdom Hearts came from MOM and it split the worlds into having light and dark.

The master of masters did not cast off his form. He used the machine ven and some of the dandelions used to go to the future. Since we heard his voice, which makes him a man, we can't say he is Sora's mother, as that would require him to cast off his body, and take over another body, preferably a woman in order to have the child. I could see it being Sora's father, as we never even get to know if he was ever there or not, but I mean it would be cool, bring Sora's mom back to scold him, learn what happened, maybe she could get concerned about the keyblade, hinting she knows of it, then lead one thing to another to the point where we learn a bit about Sora's father, hint him at being important, and tie it in. I doubt they would do that though. I just seriously doubt it's his mom. I mean maybe since Nomura has also put attention on Sora's mom on mother's day, maybe that's how he could bring her in, by making her just know something connected to the master, but idk. We would have to wait and see.

I love theory videos

Probably Riku and his purple violet spectral hair

Ava never showed up Luxu saying that she had already completed her mission. Does that mean that at some point she has already been defeated and the darkness inside her defeated?

Nomura might just do a uno reverse card and make rikku the show stealer he litteral just about fits thr prophecy

What about Ventus? He also harbored and still harbors a willful Darkness in Vanitas. Does he also have a resistance to the darkness too?

4:50 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 thats soo true 😅😅

I always felt like the xehanorts was teaching us when fighting them through the games it felt like trials instead of end all be all look at riku hes immune to darkness due to ansem-xehanorts even master xehanort by the end of the game gives sora the keyblade which i think it's the no names true form the lock to the black box anyway xehanort choose to give us the xblade he leaves the future in soras Hands instead of just resetting everything Also we know that another keyblade war will happen xehanort was preparing them for when the darkness arrives

You're closer than most. You're missing a key detail though. The MoM fell to darkness when Luxu refused to follow through on his plan.

👏👏

Riku may be a descendant of Ephemer and Xeganort

Great perspective, I had to subscribe

We are prisoners of the divergence

Terra= Goku micky= Picaloe reku= Gohan

Ngl I think that Ansem Seeker of Darkness qualifies more as a master for Riku than Mickey

4:51 lmao

What if the “MOM” is nomura 😂 that’ll never happen but it’s a funny thought 💭

NAW BRO...... HE'S EVIL LOL

1st

Unnecessary Terra slander is unnecessary.

I really hope nomura doesn’t shoehorn in some verum Rex crap into the master of master’s plan

I mean yeah no duh lol of course he used Xehanort

Mom is probably time traveled Sora or Riku or someone. Someone from later in the story. Nomura does that kinda thing a lot. Look at other KH or other FF. He loves messing with time and dimensions
