NOMURA
Chill lmao I think we're far past the time where this is anything but pure kingdom hearts goodness. Cool reference tho
@@zerosolis6664 The ending of remind is literally a 1:1 mirror of the versus XIII trailer lmao, Nomura clearly wants to revive versus XIII spiritually in Verum Rex. I think we're far past the time where anyone can feasibly deny that
Final Fantasy: Let's abandon Fabula Nova Crystallis and make a FFXIV-like game which is heavily inspired by the Ivalice Alliance games also
Kingdom Hearts: I've gotta bring back FF Versus XIII
Not to mention Riku went to the fictional “fantasy” world from the final world
Why I feel kingdom heart is gay
Kairi:“So all I am is Google Maps"
Nomura: "In a Cosmic sort of way, yes."
“Other side” - dreams?
Also- any connection to how Scala had two sides to the city?
That voice... AVA? Hello, Forteller!
Mickey: “He’s all alone in a world we know nothing about”
Aqua: “Am I a joke to you?”
Well they did know something about the Realm of Darkness but Quadratum is completely new. Even for Yen Sid and Ansem the Wise
Phrase of the day:
“I’m just spittin”
"This is like Recoded .2"
TRUER WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN SAID JARED
Lol true, useless until the very end when..it’s barely useful😂 (in terms of plot, the gameplays really fun imo)
@@funnysonicman I'd say the stuff here is way more important than Re:Coded was, lol.
We got to talk to Totally-not-Stella, that is worth 1000 recodeds
@@AstralMuffin105 It was almost the same with a retelling of basically everything that happened in the story so far, but the cutscenes were way better at least.
@@AstralMuffin105 Re:Coded is useless 100%, while like you said, MoM gives a bit of clues and info about what next game will be about.
The turkey has come home to roost
Yes
gobble gobble
🤣🤣🤣
or to roast
@@TheGamersJoint How much more seasoning do we need on the turkey?
And now we hibernate for 10 years until the next release
@Switch Stop think you missed the joke
@@damienshirar8168 the joke stop being funny after 10th time, so I don’t blame him for thinking he was serious.
@Switch StopI think that's a bad idea to go for kh4 immediately, we could still get some interesting side line games to expand the story and some characters more.
- Kairis training
-bbs trio in realm of darkness
- twilight Town gang with roxas and xions memories.
-maybe a verum rex game?
And we could get some sneak peeks about the whereabouts of xigbar and the foretellers or MoM.
I have a feelings that kh4 will come in 2029 or 2030
@@Keyteck120 nah fuck the kairis training side game we got melody of memories the next game should forsure be KH4 I'm not waiting another 14 years for the next numbered installment lol seriously though why I everyone so facinated with kairi? I never liked her I liked her when she was just the damsel in distress it made for a nice little sora/kairi love story she's supposed to be there for moral support and a reason for sora to continue on imo
@@justpage8565 well the joke is still relevant so regardless he missed the joke
"As I thought, your voice can't reach us here."
Sora: *tAkE tHiS!*
They just straight up went to the afterlife and talked to a dead person
It's moreso limbo.
It’s not even the real person
He's back and I couldn't be happier

@@TheGamersJoint, are you going to give us some melody of memory online versus gameplay soon?
Master of Masters: "Although I did see something interesting in the future."
Darkness: "What is that?"
Master of Masters: "A world I can't even Conceive."
It's all coming together, please give us more puzzle pieces Nomura, we can't handle the suspense.
I feel like Kairi has the concepts of fighting down well enough. As we saw in ReMind, she is quite competent.
What she needs to work on is motivation. The only moments we’ve seen her actually kick ass or otherwise do something useful happens when Sora in particular is in danger. She fights only to protect him.
Because she’s a princess of heart with no darkness, I theorize that she can’t use the traditional motivations for fighting to sustain her battles. (Anger, sadness, etc.) While she can feel them, darkness is what keeps those emotions going, so for her, they burn out quickly. Instead her ability to fight comes in her desire to protect. Her problem comes in that Sora is the only one she really focuses on protecting, so what she needs to learn is how to concentrate on protecting everyone.
That would make Aqua an interesting tutor for Kairi lol
I've said this for years and everyone gives me shit for it.
Her only purpose is Sora. Honestly though that is truly one of the worst characterization you can give to a character.
Quadratum is Latin for "Square" I believe.
It's something for square.
Yeah! It is!
Since KH 3 was mostly Disney worlds maybe Quadratum is where all the Final Fantasy Characters are. Quadratum does mean square in latin after all.
I just looked at it like this: Quad can mean four, and not counting the many spinoff titles that come in between, we are up to the fourth title in the main series so...
Does that mean Cloud is from that unreality place as well?
Cause isnt Noctis and leon and Cloyd and all those other Characters from the unreality place too? I'm so lost if so it's a contradiction
“And beings of darkness made out of pudding...PUDDING!”
That killed me!🤣🤣
Me too Sahara. me too
I think the reason fairy godmother can just go to the final world is because the nameless star has a strong dream, the same way she appears to Cinderella
“Old Man? Wrinkle Nod? Good to see ya again Buddy..Last time I Bio-Oliterated by the Duck and a Dog..” Bruh... He’ll never forget even if he comes back as new guy.. lol..
The wait is finally
Roxas: ...over.
Hey, I know you from Twitter
@@michaellevin664 I know you from Twitter as well. Yes I too am a fan of the village idiot lol
@@thelyokomemelord Who ain't a fan of this turkey drumstick?
@@thelyokomemelord and I know you from my funeral
plot twist: yozora's world is actually our world but no one knows because ✨world order✨ except nomura knows all and is sharing that info. he rly is too powerful
Yozoras world is one big nobody of final fantasy versus 13
If so then it must be our world in the future since I'm pretty sure we don't have Gigas ^cough^Gundams^cough^ and technology like we've seen Yozora and his friends using in the Verum Rex game and in the fight between Yozora and Sora at the end of Re:Mind.
Real talk I doubt it. I personally believe it’s just an alternative reality. It would explain why Yozora is a video game character in the kingdom hearts universe. In Sora’s word he’s a fictional character however he’s real in another reality (quadratum). The same could potentially even be said for Sora. He’s of course real in the kh universe but in quadratum he’s a fictional character to the people who live there.
@@BobbyTheGamerOfJUSTICE lmao yeah of course i was just making a joke bc jared was laughing about the irony of the "fictional" world being the one that's most similar to ours. all in good fun.
@@BobbyTheGamerOfJUSTICE actually there's an even better explanation for Verum Rex being a video game about Quadratum. Remember the Toy Box world in KH3 is actually a copy of the real Toy Story world made by the Real Organization XIII and seeing as MoM established that Xehanort knew about Quadratum for a long time, I think it's safe to say that Verum Rex was included in the Toy Box world by Xehanort as hint to Sora about the existence of Quadratum.
so um, just wondering fairy godmother....
WHERE DA F**K WERE YOU IN DDD!?!?!
My first time playing MoM, when that Kingdom Key appeared in Kairi's hand I legit thought she was gonna start dual wielding because Sora was inside her heart or her memories and all that Kingdom Hearts wacky nonsense. Then I thought in the future she might ask Roxas for some dual wielding pointers. It would have been great to see them interacting with each other like they did in Kingdom Hearts 2.
14:29
Jared:Kingdom Hearts you gotta stop, you’re going down the rabbit hole
Me: Kingdom Hearts is the rabbit hole itself
Kingdom hearts straight up said "ayo multiverse check"
I mean technically it's always been that way. There are many different worlds all separate from one another unless you have access to special means to traverse them. In a sense the Champions of Light and Seekers of Darkness have always been Multiverse travelers using special means to traverse worlds that normally can't be traversed in between.
Quadratum is just a more difficult location to reach as it's outside the Multiverse we've seen so far in the Kingdom Hearts games.
@@korsaiyajinkami3766 Not necessarily. The kh universe has always had different realms and words to explore of course but they’ve all been connected in some way. Quadratum and potentially other worlds seems like a completely different universe altogether. Which is pretty exciting
@@BobbyTheGamerOfJUSTICE yes, but not everyone can travel between worlds and the games have established that they aren't supposed to be traversable by normal means. The Champions of Light and the Seekers of Darkness have powers (Keyblades and Dark Corridors) and tech (Gummi Ships) that allow them to traverse the worlds. One could view this as Multiverse Travel if you think about it.
@@korsaiyajinkami3766 they physically fly and land on these "worlds" thats not what an alternate reality is.
@@blxckjxck47 except it doesn't work like one would expect space travel to work. For example if Stitch were to hop into his spaceship, he wouldn't be able to fly to other Disney Worlds and instead would fly thru space in that Universe. You need access to special tech like a Gummy Ship, the Keyblades that Aqua, Terra, and Ventus use like space surfboards (?), or the Dark Corridors to traverse the worlds. So I'd say that it's definitely more like a Multiverse than a typical Universe.
"Not of light or darkness, but somewhere on the other side."
"Another side, another story."
Good job! I can actually imagine that being said in KH lol
On the point about Fairy Godmother. Notice how she introduces the nameless star by saying "someone with a strong will and a very powerful dream". I think it's her dream that enables Fairy Godmother to pull all the stuff she does, since that's kind of her MO even in the Cinderella tale.
i like to imagine it shot kairi to destiny islands like a marshmallow launcher
it has that carboard tube **THUNK* sound to it
This talk makes me want a giant trebuchet to launch marshmallows with
The future of kingdom hearts looks extremely bright. I seriously can’t wait.
I'm very excited to see how they'd implement Disney stuff in the future games where Yozora is the main focus in Quadratum (I do hope for non-Disney worlds KH games, for a long time tbh)
I'm interested to see how they will get Sora back and whats going to happen to the Master of Masters. He's still out there.
It is all right. May its heart become their guiding key and shall not falter to the darkness.
I’m a bit worried in the next game we get to play as Mickey, I like him but I’d a prefer a humanoid playable character
Unreality/Fiction -> Fantasy (Final Fantasy)
Quadrat -> Squared (Square Enix)
Basically, Riku go to Final fantasy / Square Enix World
chrono trigger world when?
Wait just one second… if the world Sora is in is tied to FF and the location looks like Shibuya… omg does this include The World Ends With You?
It would be beyond amazing if there was a game centered around Aqua training Kairi.
Barrels. Lots and lots of barrels.
17:32 his rant is hilarious 😄
he did not catch the song when the star mentions Quadratum, its the same as Yuzura's theme, the same notes. im kinda sad
I had flashbacks to my 1478 deaths
Imagine we go to Shibuya and there’s Kingdom Hearts games on display in store windows😂😂😂😂😂
@Tafari TV
That would be even funnier if you encounter a KH fan and they faint from geeking out too hard XD
If you really think about it, Jared, Fairy Godmother being able to teleport to the Final World actually makes a lot of sense. The realms of sleep and death are closely connected, based on what we found out in DDD, and since her power is tied to dreams, it wouldn't be much of a stretch for her to reach the realm of death(aka The Final World). Especially when there are people there like our nameless star who are still holding onto a dream to create a beacon for her.
Yo, Jared, glad to have you back and good to finally have your reaction to KHMoM.
Also, don't know if you had seen this, Riku jumped from the "Final" World on to the fictional or could also mean "Fantasy" World of Quadratum, which that name is Latin for "Square"
So basically, Square and Final Fantasy.
I mean The fairy godmother does have god in her name
Legitimately wtf though, Nomura will explain mickey losing his shirt but he wont explain how fairy godmother knows how to arrive at the end of all existence LOL
@@jazjule4800 I’m guessing he’s banking on the death and dreams are close to each other explanation from KH3
@@jazjule4800 He is expecting to people to know what fairy godmother s.
Bro... here me out. There is a IRL theory called “many worlds” we all get deja vu’s. What if:
Nomrua is one of many trying to indirectly tell us that the “key” to visiting these worlds are in our dreams.
Think about it, why do these dreams feel so real? How can we get to these “many worlds” that exist or should exist in theory? Our only issue is we can’t control it or officially observe it, because it takes a strong good (maybe bad?) heart to control and reach these worlds? Mannnn.... I’m telling you this shit gotta b in some way shape or form true..
That moment when a happenstance meeting between a Disney and a Square exec in a random elevator in a Japanese office led to the rending of space and time in a great enlightenment of unreality
@@Somerandomjingleberry pretty poetic if you ask me
Some believe the dream realm is actually the real reality. Or closer to the real reality. Depends on the school of thought
I'm all for it
Time to bring the smack down on this turkey once and for all!
I should’ve known better than to mess with Nomura’s turkey..
Kairi’s retelling is great except for the fact that “Terra resisted the call to darkness”. I died laughing when I heard that
#TerraDidNothingWrong
Well he did resist it but he didn't have to win when resisting the darkness i guess
@@KingdomHearts4KHML yeah I know. But it’s said like he never did but it’a not explained since it’s a rough summary so I can get why
Best thing: Aqua and Kairi will start to bond! I always wanted that myself
Aqua is best girl
I never noticed this before but at 23:34 you can hear Yozora's theme playing in the background, just a much less aggressive, more calming piano version which is really cool
Riku went from the Final-World into the Fiction-World. Final Fiction. Final Fantasy...
What's interesting is that Quadratum means "Square" in Latin.
From that alone, I'm reminded of the Master of Master's box. Also Latin is used frequently in KH when it comes to the ancient Masters. Their names are the Latin spelling of the seven deadly sins, Lux means light, Scala Ad Caelum means Ladder to Heaven. Even Verum Rex is Latin for True King.
I also remember that the Master of Master formed a square with his hands before shaping a heart in front of the moon.
So technically that clip showed us the real name of the city right under our nose.
AKA: Cynical cannot comprehend "Kingdom Hearts" for 30 minutes.
I also love that they kept the fact that Xehanort sent Kairi out from Radiant Garden to find the Keyblade wielder. That thing's been teased since KH1's Ansem's Reports.
Fairy Godmother coming in clutch tho
I like the idea that our world is fictional to Kingdom Hearts just as Kingdom Hearts is fictional in ours
I think the message Kairi’s Memory of Xehanort mean is that the same machine that lead her to Destiny Islands can bring her to the other side too, searching for a keyblade wilder too lime in the past. So she can use that machine to find sora in the other side.
Watching the cut scene where Kairi "fights" was one of the most frustrating cut scenes I've seen in a long time. But I do like how they're giving the voice actress more to work with than usual.
One thing I can always can count on are the awesome reactions this guy gives!!!
I just finished melody of memory and have been dying to see this and you didn’t disappoint 😂
QUADRATUM = Square!
Doesn't go off to save Aqua in ROD.
Riku goes to Quadratum: I have to save him!
GOOD to have you back buddy! Missed ya lots!!
It's so nice having your videos with your charisma and energy back. Always brightens my day
Malificent vs Fairy God Mother incoming? I never thought about those 2 together since we so focused on everything else but the world of Sleeping Beauty obviously remains relevant. Another piece of a puzzle we cant complete yet 😭
clicked on this so fast, looking forward to more videos my guy!
THOSE FUCKING VIOLINS ESPECIALLY AT THE END OF DARK DOMINATION HAVE MY EARS FUCKING LIT EVERY TIME
I think we will see Daybreak Town. And i'm hyped!!! :DDD
Will we see the Union Cross characters?
@@laurenpollock9027 i don't know, but whenn daybreak town is in the new Kingdom Hearts then it's Possible.
Fun fact: *spoliers*
You know how luxord is is in the secret boss ending replicating the versus 13 trailer? In the game 358/2 days the mission mode allows you to play any organization member. When you select luxord you can actually get a gear called "casual gear" and if equip it the gears name is actually "finest fantasy 13" which i find very interesting. Did Nomura plan this ahead of time? Trying to replicate the versus 13 trailer?🤔🤔🧐
Naa it was a reference to versus 13 what we are seeing now is nomura is butthurt because he was removed from the project so he decided to make kingdom hearts into versus 13
This is the reaction I was waiting for and it did not disappoint. "Finish training in Quadratum brooo" LMAOO
Maybe you’ll play as Kairi in the next KH game and rescue Sora. Sora rescued Kairi, now it’s her turn to rescue him.
i doubt sora will come back before phase 3
if you look on the roadmap there are 2 major games and 2 minor boxes
1 is likely the Kairi and aqua training game
the other is likely the mickey and Riku quadratum game
As for the minor boxes
It'll likely pertain to the rumored KH TV show and Dark road expansion
@@FlutterSwag didn’t sora save himself in the dlc? Or am I wrong. Nothing makes sense anymore. I’m not even gonna play whatever the next game is so why do I care. I didn’t play the dlc because the base game sucked so I don’t know much of what went on. I thought he went back in time to save everyone
@@alexanderluna4598 Yeah, I know the DLC felt like the story came out of nowhere. But Sora is still trapped in the Final World place after defeating Yozora. After that, don’t know what’s gonna happen next.
@@yoshimitsui2 oh yeah the riku clone in shibuya... lmao. Don’t worry, nomura will make up 10 different side games on how to save sora from discount versus 13 land. And kairi won’t be playable in any one of them 😂
@@alexanderluna4598 Okay well, just so you know, Kairi is playable in the Re:Mind DLC. On the last fight with Armored Xehanort, the game will ask you to play as Sora or Kairi.
17:22 Kingdom Hearts is *way more realistic* than real life
We need an irl restaurant run by *rats*
Hey it makes sense. If we live in a fictional world, of course we'd perceive the non-fictional world to be unrealistic or fictional as to us our world is the real one, not the fictional one. It's all just a matter of perspective.
Hey Jared! Glad to have you back boi. So when they say Quadratum, Quadratum is basically latin for Square. KH from now on will have more Square in it! Perhaps Square Enix worlds are what await us on this other side.
I'm so excited to see what comes next. There are so many different theories about Yozora and his world that are just perfect. One in particular being that he may be the "commander" (remember "Commander! Commander!" from ReMind's ending?) of a Keyblade Hunter faction of sorts. I have my own theory that its possible the Keyblade Wars started on this other side. I have a theory that the whole world of KH was once one. The MoM's ultimate goal is to recollide/RECONNECT the two back together. It makes sense if you think about some things. But I'm just on this wild ride to the end. Can't wait need more lore and KAIRI AND AQUAAAA
I sometimes forget Mickey's full name is Michael Mouse
It makes me so happy to see when there are new uploads from Jared, his content never fails to put a smile on my face
Very great that your back doing Kingdom Hearts content, been waiting for you to do this reaction for a while 😀😉
The fact that Quadratum means square in Latin
_snickers_
For the next big Kingdom Hearts game... I hope that the tutorial is Kairi going through her mark of mastery exam, kind of like how it unfolded in BBS
The actual craziness of the fact that The word Quadratum is Latin for Square is absolutely nuts.
NOMURA WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO US 😩😩😩
17:00 Well, i think it makes sense, it's all about perspective. For them that is the real world so the other one must be the fictional world.
It should make sense for us too considering that Yozora appears in a videogame in the Toy Story world, that's probably why nomura decided to call it unreality or fictional world
So glad you're back my duuuuude!!!
Fairy Godmother is some omniscient monster-lord of all Dream Eaters. The Dream Queen, if it were.
Ansem: If you die, walk it off
In remind sora did say to yozora "if your here this can't be the real world"
Imagine if Yozora was one of Ansem's failed experiments that ended up , on the other side...
I always look forward to your reactions to any KH gameplay than other kh youtubers
“What are you speaking fuckin alien”🤣🤣🤣
I’m glad he was recording despite the hiatus.
Wish Mickey had that same ‘I have to help’ energy when Aqua was stuck in the realm of darkness
Mickey knew some knowledge of the real of darkness and knew... well thought she was strong enough to fight the endless darkness. However riku went to a place mickey never heard of by himself. He developed a real relationship with riku and seen him riku grow up. Of course he has different feelings between the two
I think I finally get it it's going to be outside of Disney's reality.
Yea
I don’t mind having a kh game without Disney cuz first of all I’m 19 and second the story lines are just movie cutouts so it’s kinda boring, also it will force them to think of new ways to keep the story moving instead of stopping every five seconds to help Anna find her sister or something
@@barockobalma8622 Disney literally owns the IP; Also, Disney worlds have played a part in the plotline before both in older games and in newer ones.
World's of Unreality or fiction could mean nomura's unfinished projects like versus XIII as an example. Things that never truly existed. Which would be why disney properties from the kingdom hearts aspect of things did already exist and are on the reality side
Quadatrum = Square
In KH3 secret ending the MoM is standing on a building that we can map to be the real-world location of square-Enix HQ....
This is getting nuts
its not 2021 if we didn't see any new Jared KH reaction
HOW IS NO ONE GONMNA CREDIT THIS HALIROS BEAUTIFUL MAN HOLLYYYY SHHIIEETTTT!!!! LMMAOOO i love u bro
Xehanort: "I... will always be a memory."
Maybe their “fiction”.... is OUR reality...? 😳😳😳
Riku's going solo.
I saw all the cut scenes except for the after credits one.
...Whoa. Mind. Blown.
Nomura, you mad genius.
Beings of darkness made out of pudding.
P U D D I N G
I swear, we've bio-obliterated Xehanort like, fifty times and yet the old goat still hasn't died yet.
He is dead though. This one we see is just a manifestation of Kairi's memories.
@@korsaiyajinkami3766 I know, but I like to think he's too stubborn to die.
@@jalonshelton204 oh most definitely he's very stubborn, but I think we can for certain say he's dead for good this time around as KH3 was the end of the Darkness Saga and we clearly saw him move on with Master Eraqus at the end of KH3. That said it's rather likely we'll see him in other ways like flashbacks and what-not moving forward whenever Nomura feels necessary to include him in the story.
@@korsaiyajinkami3766 Nomura did say he won't be the main antagonist again, but rather his impact will be felt going forward.
@@focusfireno.1099 of course his impact will be felt going forward. It's already being felt seeing as what he did to Kairi has lead to the disappearance of Sora, which resulted in her being asleep for more than 1.5 years and many others searching for Sora for that span of time as well.
And of course that is probably only the tip of the iceberg seeing as Xehanort knew about Quadratum and was involved with both the Master of Masters and Luxu. Xehanort even knew the identity of the Master of Masters. Whether or not he knew Xigbar was actually Luxu is yet to be revealed though the story does seem to imply he might not have known about that.
What a great birthday present! Good to have you back Jared :)
More than anything, I feel like KH moving past Xehanort entirely will be difficult to pull off. To me, MoM did a decent job of setting up KH to tackle an entirely new topic -- no longer of light and darkness, but of the relationship between parallel realities. MoM was not a groundbreaking game in itself, but I think it allows a strong pivot of perspective in this sense.
I don’t think they are honestly. Xehanort may be dead but he’s still an important character who has more knowledge than a lot of the characters in the kh universe. I’m sure he’ll still have an important role in the future, even if it’s in death.
Nomura finally did it. He broke our boy with his insane story telling.
Ah yes, I too was thinking the whole time "DDD WITH KAIRI AND RIKU IN UNREALITY" only to be cucked by Nomura at the end
From what I gather. The world of verum Rex is this fiction world. And that’s where sora is. And somehow the masters that where in the movie found their way to that world.
You're cracking me up with this one, my dude. Well done and welcome back!
In the DCs multiversity story theres a quote from quantum superman i think
One world's reality is another worlds fiction.
Cant help but think that Dr. Facilier could probably help out find Sora since he has friends on the other side
The way the camera zooms in on Yen Sid and he says Mickey needs to go to Scala Ad Caelum and the scene cuts to “An Oath to Return Kingdom Hearts”, could this actually hint to a Mickey Game being next where we go to Scala? I feel like everyone’s thinking of just the main trio but this scene sets up perfectly for a Mickey, maybe Mickey/Kairi game being next before we hit Quadratum w/ Riku. Anyone else think this?
20:51
Jared: Two!
Axel: TWO?!
NOMURA IS AT IT AGAIN
it's so nice to have you back !! i have not laughed this hard at a video in a while. no one else can come up with the things you say for real lmao
Glad to have you back I really missed your videos I'm glad your doing alright
been waiting for youuu, welcome back!!
Ok here are some major theories:
1) They were always 2 Xehanort's - Xemnas and Ansem were not Old Xehanort's Heartless and Nobody. They were Apprentice Xehanort's. The reason why I say they are completely diffrent is because they both had different goals. Old Xehanort wanted to basically reboot the universe. . Apprentice Xehanort's goal was to crossover to an alternate universe.
2) They're maybe multiple universes out there Yozora's world being apart of The World Of Fiction. makes sense. Sora's universe would be considered The World Of Fairy Tales, due to all the Disney movies being mostly Fairytales.
3) Kingdom Hearts will have a world dedicated to NEO: The World Ends with You,
Nomura did say that Shibuya would reappear but it wouldnt be the Shibuya that we are familiar with.
4) The Secret Ending shows the beginning of Sora and Riku's journey. Sora wakes up in Shibuya and will be part of the games, Riku ends up in Quadratum. Master of Masters will be Sora's antagonist, Yozora will be Riku's ( Because Riku doesnt have enough clones after him)
5) Sora fighting Xehanort in MoM is a teaser of the games Sora will take part of. Sora needs to gather all of Kairi's fragments again. Notice that when Sora defeats Xehanort again, a fragment goes to Sora (Not Kairi) and he disappears with it. Kairi nor Xehanort acknowledge the crystal.
6) Yozora attacks Sora because Riku did not obey The World Order ( The law that forbids any Keyblade wielder to mention the outside worlds - in this case, Riku being from an alternate univers-)
Let me tell you a quick story cause this conclusion hit me like a truck. As a kid I really loved to think about story in my head, picking up that stick and imagine myself being a keyblade wielder fighting off the beings of darkness and this mean guy in my class.(as a lot of you probably did, too :D )
Well I always imagined that I was also able to travel to fictional worlds. How the keyblade wielders were able to travel to different Disney worldsy I was able to travel to my favourite, mostly anime, worlds. Fighting together with Naruto and shit. However I always thought that contrary to KH where all worlds are connected and in a way, everyone, can travel anywhere, these fictional worlds were not that easy to enter in my mind. First, there must be a connection to said world. Like a book, a series or a game. I wasn't too sure if the fictional world there should be a similar connection but it would make sense. You need either a keyblade or some sort of ancient magic in order to open a portal to said world. These worlds were all shatter pieces of Kingdom hearts after the keyblade war ( my own version of the keyblade war in that sense) and by going there you can harvest some kind of power which was the main reason for villains to go there and the duty of the keyblade wielders to protect them.
So I was quite shocked to see that Nomura made verum Rex a fictional world, too just like with my fantasy back than.
There is also a connection, a video game of verum Rex in the "real world", too. So I am intrigued to see what else Nomura will use after he probably looked into my heart and memories!
