I thought the one scene in DDD where Sora sees a vision of him next to YX with the line "You are the one who has made your heart a prison... Even if you are not the prisoner" made the possibility of a dormant Vanitas within Sora quite clear.

There might still be something like that in KH3. The only thing we know for sure was that he was knocked out when he was taken away by Braig and Xehanort, and seemed a bit off when he showed up again (as Saix) at the end of DDD.Huh. I thought the question of why Isa was working with the Org was going to be a big one.
Mickey is definitely stupid but in fairness he never really stopped being busy. The Organization was on the move, Sora was asleep, and Riku had gone off on his own only to return after using the power of Darkness and taking the form of Xehanort's Heartless.Why didn't Mickey save Aqua in the year long gap between KHCoM and KH2?
That's still very much extrapolation and one I would still question. And the entire reason for the organization was for them to become more like their normal selves. I don't buy that excuse for just up and discarding their name. Doesn't make much sense at all. Also high ranking nobodies are said to be controlled by their respective Organization member, so there's a lot more implying that they're nobodies than them not. Besides, even if we were to ignore all of this, all signs indicate to nobodies being stronger than their somebodies, so I would certainly contest your initial excuse. Surely not enough to prove the idea of the inverse being the case (somebody overpowering the nobody).We don't know what really happens when they reform with their new bodies. They could easily still have the powers they had but be reunited with their hearts.
Probably because they were the Nobodies for a while and enjoyed the person they become and what they had become. Their original names were who they were before and just because they are in those full forms again, they may simply prefer their new selves.
Is Vanitus a heartless and does that make Ventus a nobody?
Currently replaying BBS and can't remember thinking
Roxas isn't. Neither is Xigbar.all signs indicate to nobodies being stronger than their somebodies
Is the mobile game going to tie more into post KH3 than KH3 itself?
I've been told (without any spoilers) that chi is very important for understanding the ending of KH3. The brother of one of the main known leaker of the game disliked the ending partially due to this.For the most part, yes, but one character from the mobile game has already appeared in trailers for KH3, and other aspects were referenced / shown in Birth By Sleep 0.2. You'll probably still want to read up on its story, as it seems like it will end up tying into KH3 to some extent.
Probably Demyx. It's a joke that would fit his character.
Ventus had been around for a long while. He was in the mobile game.Why does Xehanort need to make the 13 pieces of darkness all himself? If all of these pieces are willing why does he need to be all of them?
Also at the end of DDD when Young Xehanort says he's going back to his time, but not really because he obviously is still needed for Xehanort and is there when MX tries to enslave Sora. So what...?
Vanitus is the Darkness that was within Ventus' heart, so no as far as I know Ventus isn't a nobody.
Xigbar can definitely be argued (and hell Roxas can probably beat Ventus tbh), but those are just two out of thirteen. Xaldin and Marluxia, and likely Vexen definitely seem to be. Especially since they can each control their high ranking nobodies in addition to their added abilities.
There was no safe way to enter(and leave) the realm of darkness until KHIIIWhy didn't Mickey save Aqua in the year long gap between KHCoM and KH2?
No, he's just Ventus' darkness manifested.Is Vanitus a heartless and does that make Ventus a nobody?

I was just talking about Chirithy, but you're right. Ventus and the original human forms of Marluxia and Larxene are in KHx. As for the stuff in 0.2, Luxu appears at the very beginning with the No Name Keyblade, watching Kingdom Hearts appear at the end of the Keyblade War.The chirthy(sp?) thingy and technically ventus,marluxia and larxene right?
Why does Sora's nobody look like Ventus?
Why does Vanitas look like Sora?
Splitting in two damaged Ventus's heart, which almost killed him. Master Xehanort brought him to Destiny Islands to pass on peacefully, however, Ventus's heart came in contact with Sora's heart, who helped heal him. This connection affected Vanitas's appearance.Why does Sora's nobody look like Ventus?
Why does Vanitas look like Sora?
I feel like I've seen the scene for the latter, what do I search? Otherwise I'm pretty up to date, going to watch some refreshers. The only thing I relied 100% on vids would be the mobile game stuff.I was just talking about Chirithy, but you're right. Ventus and the original human forms of Marluxia and Larxene are in KHx.

How can I catch up on all the relevant beats from Unchained/x/chi/whatever? Is there a YouTube video that doesn't leave anything important out?
So minor correction, but pretty sure this is from the aftermath of the first keyblade war because by this point Xehanort had already been using the no name keyblade while fighting against Terra. Also the master of masters said that the no name keyblade would successfully be passed down from Luxu to his apprentices so by the time the Terra xehanort battle is happening the keyblade has already been passed down through many generations.I was just talking about Chirithy, but you're right.

thanks, great answer, you really cleared everything for me
It allowed Young Xehanort the ability to travel back in time to the Destiny Islands, they were pointing on how Xehanorts Heartless was there which allowed that to happen.During the mid segment of DDD, why does Yen Sid and Mickey keep talking about Xehanort being at Destiny Island? What's the importance of that?
You're totally right, sorry. I always connected it with BBS rather than the Keyblade War due to it being in 0.2, but the end of the War makes a lot more sense.So minor correction, but pretty sure this is from the aftermath of the first keyblade war because by this point Xehanort had already been using the no name keyblade while fighting against Terra.

Wait, why does starting the war summon the Keyblade that opens kingdom hearts? It's it like a failsafe or something?It's the heart of all worlds and all people and ALL things. As such, it is very powerful. Summoning KH involves a conflict between Keyblade wielders (Keyblade War) so that an item known as the X-Blade can be called forth. It is through the X-Blade that KH can be accessed. Xehanort's motives are a little multifaceted and confusing IMO but it seems to be in two parts:
1- Xehanort was interested in the War of the past and wants to recreate it to see what lies in the aftermath.
2- Xehanort wants to summon KH so he can use the power to make the world as he pleases. He seems to believe that the realm has too strong an affinity with Light. If Xehanort gets his way he would likely plunge everything in Darkness.
I'm sure KH3 will make his intentions more clear.
First ten Episodes go through what may be relevant in Kingdom Hearts 3.
10 episodes, each 20+ minutes sounds like...a lot.
Thanks though! I guess I can make my way through them slowly...

I think he comes from Destinys Island just like Sora and Riku.
To basically hijack the Mark of Mastery exam Sora and Riku were taking in an attempt to enslave Sora as one of the 13 pieces of Darkness.
What are the unversed exactly?
Vanitas is Ventus's darkness if I understand correctly. Is there anything special about Ventus or could anyone have something like Vanitas?

They had to go back in time before Destiny Islands was "sleeping" to wait for the darkness to overtake it so they could fall into the sleeping worlds. It doesn't make a lot of sense but yeah.Oh yeah that's the other thing, why does Sora and Riku need to be at Destiny Island to enter the sleeping worlds?
They went to a sleeping world version of destiny islands. As they needed to open that keyhole to go deeperOh yeah that's the other thing, why does Sora and Riku need to be at Destiny Island to enter the sleeping worlds?
Okay so isn't Roxas just ventus but without his memories, or is he his own being that just happens to take his form because of the impact of sora having more than 1 heart.
If the plan is for 13 beings of darkness to fight 7 warriors of light..... Why wouldn't they just do their best not to match the number. I mean the x blade needs 13 and 7 so just not playing the game seems like a better plan.
At the end of ddd I'm confident that Riku x sora is a canon ship, not a question just needed to say it.
The only game in the series I truly didn't pay any attention to was recoded so explain the concept of data to me. Because apparently data was transferred into sora and sora may or may not have memories of data sora? I'm confused
The portal to the sleeping worlds only appears when a world falls to darkness.Oh yeah that's the other thing, why does Sora and Riku need to be at Destiny Island to enter the sleeping worlds?
The latter. Roxas only looks like Ventus because of the connection that Sora and Ventus have. Otherwise, Roxas and Ventus are two separate individuals.Okay so isn't Roxas just ventus but without his memories, or is he his own being that just happens to take his form because of the impact of sora having more than 1 heart.
Everyone says that 90% of Recoded is not important, so what's that remaining 10% that I need to know about Recoded for the narrative?
Why didn't Mickey save Aqua in the year long gap between KHCoM and KH2?

It didn't always seem that way. The first War was said to be fought in order to claim the X-Blade. Somehow, after the original Keyblade War the X-Blade was broken into 7 pieces of Light and 13 pieces of Darkness. Xehanort's battle pits these numbers against each other to recreate it.Wait, why does starting the war summon the Keyblade that opens kingdom hearts? It's it like a failsafe or something?
