An Oversimplified Story (Kingdom Hearts Dark Road)

Hey y’all I’m now aware of the player character is the hooded figure. Though I will say that if not for that interview with Nomura I think it was still a very solid theory lol

Calling Bragi Sans reinforces that Xigbar is just Kingdom hearts’ Sans

There was actually this theory going on for a while that Bragi was Luxu due to the name being almost the same as Braig but everyone seems to have wrote it off for being too obvious. Hilarious that it turned out to be that obvious. Strange Luxu would choose a body named after the god of poetry and known for playing the harp but I can see it considering his behavior in battle and his questioning of Xehanort.

Okay, notice that Luxu has a trend on who he uses as a vessel. Brain. Bragi. Braig. These are a the names we know so far. Notice the trend?

So it was Luxu -> steal body of Brain -> time travel into Missing Link -> steal body of Bragi -> steal body of Braig(Xigbar) KhX Player -> Reincarnated into Kh Missing Link Player -> gets old and raises Xehanort From what I've heard (otherwise Blue robed guy would've taken the hood down I'm certain)

Eraqus and Aqua also used chains attacks. Originally we thought it was something that the master defender keyblade could do. But after seeing Terra-Xehanort do it in KH3. We assumed it was something Eraqus taught them. But know we know Odin was the one, who taught Eraqus and probably Xehanort too.

as someone who doesn't want to play through the whole of dark road personally this is what ive been looking for 0-0, same as union x unxhained, dont feel the fun from the mobile games i only get from the story so this is a live saver edit - holy shit this game is full of answers to questions ive been asking since the begining and only 8 mins in !

Goddamn Nomura. Can't even tell anymore if something is a typo or a real character

I think it is more likely that the hooded figure raising Xehanorth is the players character from Union X. Makes sense to hood him since the avatar can look very different for everyone.

The popular conclusion people got from the cloaked figure's identity is that the "the player reincarnated into xehanort" reveal was a misdirection and that the perspective of the flashback is actually the blue hood. The dreams xehanort was having were actually about Ephemer and HIS friend (due to what the figure tells baby xehanort about his lineage). And that "we" believed that because xehanort was the great grandson of Ephemer, "we" could force him to be the "child of destiny" by raising him on destiny islands. When the real child of destiny was likely Riku, who was actually born on the islands. He's possibly another descendant of Ephemer, due to him initially being chosen for the keyblade back in kh1. Then, like the keyblade was eventually just given to Sora, so was the mantle of "the child of destiny". Seen as how Sora did reverse the prophecy of the darkness prevailing and light expiring in kh3.

I'm glad you liked it man and I enjoyed the hell out of it too thought it was a great story especially coming from a mobile game if this had kh3 looks and was on console wow it would have blown me away and probably would have blasted to one of my favorites along with Union cross if it was done the same justice. But I'm glad it was simplified and gave us hella answers because there's no need to always be turning upside down I like to figure out things myself and find the answers later. But yeah now people can always stop complaining about "how super complicated" the series is lol good video 💯 and keep up the work nice. I work on videos with Kai the player and we make kh and FF videos trying to find people got about 3 k on the channel of his so if you'd like I can always give you a link to his discord. Trying to find more fans and talk and get together!

Considering how almost everyone in Dark Road is named after Norse mythology and Baldr was killed by Xehanort (which I predicted) that makes him a Loki analogue which I find really interesting and fitting seeing how Loki has been shifted from possible Jesus figure to Satan figure.

The Blue Robed Figure is the Player Character, not Brain.

Thanks a lot for this!!

This is the first time I've ever heard someone say a KH story was overly simplified.

You must have forgotten they showed how Eraqus got those scars in BBS itself I believe, lol

Did we really need an explanation for the lack of crowds in earlier games? We just assumed it was due to system limitations…

It's the kingdom hearts you remember anywayzzzzzzzzzz (Miley Cyrus voice)

Thanks for trying to dissect this cause I was not about to try and understand the finale myself😅!

Correct me if I’m wrong but Eraqus got his scars in a cutscene in BBS I think dark road just recreates that cutscene.
