God I was pulling my hair out trying to get this done before remind and I did it! If by any means if you guys enjoy this type of content, or union x content in general, please leave a like so I know you guys enjoy it and I will know to continue to do this type of thing as I had A LOT of fun learning about the in's and out's out union cross. Also big shout out to my boy Damo, check him out, he is the GOD of Union X :) FULL ON HYPE TRAIN FOR UNION X NOW!
I lean toward two scenarios: 1.) Ven straight up did it (killed Strelitzia and took the spot), moreso due to powerful darkness within him that he's not fully aware of 2.) The Darkness entity killed Strelitzia, illusioned themself as Ava (similar to how Ava did as other Foretellers), made Ven a fake Union leader, and is continually pulling strings in the background, with Maleficent as the most recent target. This way, there's an imposter, but none of the current 5 actually did the messy deed. All leading to Luxu's log of 'a Darkness has arrived... and amidst the chaos I ..."
Yea I think this too. Ventus is the imposter but hes not behind any of it. That's not the type of character he is. Hes more of a victim of the one pulling the strings, which is likely darkness... vanitas
Took the words out of my mouth, seeing that vanitas was within Ven and chose to be “darkness” leads to the assumption the darkness/vanitas killed her. It could be with ven knowing or possibly being unaware of it.
i've been calling it for a few months now (and remind has backed me up on this a bit) that vanitas has been a seperate entity this entire time inside of ventus and that he took control of ventus, killed streletzia, and either somehow made ventus think that he was chosen or has been controlling ventus since before he met up with everyone else
My money is still on Brain being the imposer, and Ava killing Steltizia, but Brain being unaware of said murder. Brain figured it out and called Ephemer to talk with him about it, trusting him the most, before bringing Ven and Skuld into it, but leaving Lauriam out of it, afraid he might do something rash when presented with said information, and wanting to work it out with the others first, and figure out how to tell him.
I agree with the Darkness entity theory. I think Ven is the impostor, but not the killer. The killer is probably the entity known as Darkness. I think Darkness is the one that has manipulated all this behind the scenes and gave Ven the rule book after it took it from Strelitzia. So right now, the real question is who is Darkness.
You seem to forget a character in the game, and that’s our character, and if it was our character it would be like the battle between roxas and xion I’m talking about the one in Halloween town, it was a mission then axel stop them, they both thought they where fight a heartless but they were fight each other
I’m thinking the imposter is either Ven or Brain. I’m heavily leaning towards Brain due to the secret reports. Plus I think it would make sense if Brain is the imposter that he might tell Ephemer, Skuld, & Ven but not Lauriam, since it’s likely if he is the imposter he either knows who killed strelitzia or he killed her himself and that’s an awkward conversation to have with strelitzia’s brother. That or it’s possible that Brain might be trying to pin Lauriam as the imposter (since Lauriam does seem suspicious) to everyone else when in fact Brain is the real imposter. OR Perhaps Ven is the imposter & doesn’t even know it. Perhaps Ven has a spilt personality (i.e. Vanitas) and Vanitas is orchestrating all this imposter business.
Probably need to update this video now that remind is out. That scene in Ven's station ... Here's my take on the subject btw: www.khinsider.com/forums/index.php?threads/strelitzias-murder-mystery-solved.222060/
Another thing that makes me think that Lauriam isn't the murderer, is because we can see his thought bubbles when he's talking about Strelitzia. If he made the entire story up then his thoughts wouldn't make it seem like he was worried about her if he was the one who killed her.
I believe just like DiZ or Darkness in Zero, Ava had to get another alias and took on the name Darkness. This is because she is the one who killed Strelitzia. Logically speaking only she would know who had a copy of the book of prophesies and to go against what Luxu had told her, she would have to defy the Mom’s orders. I believe with all her knowledge of the book she has also been leading Maleficent. At any rate looking forward to the next story update.
Not to mention she's the only Foreteller with illusion powers and the only one who hasn't appeared in the Keyblade Graveyard when Luxu got hold of the box.
When sora time travels to save kairi in kh3. It shows sora in vens station of awakening , he does not interact with it as the others , and is instead confronted with a mysterious voice saying he is darkness. Then is forced to fight the optional boss of kh3. (Forget the name) but it has an x in it. There is nothing to do with his fears or what he experienced in the keyblade war (recent one)
Does ReMIND change your thoughts on Ven being the culprit? Especially with the Ven's heart = Dark Inferno X scene & Vanitas talking about how he's the darkness that's been inside of Ven for a long time?
I think more than one Union Leader was changed because Elrena was introduced kind of for no reason. I really think maybe some of the nobodies with the “keyblade legacy” were meant to be leaders but Ava changed things.
Man I love hearing these kind of theories, though I kind of wish you update this after Re: Mind as there are some scenes that connects to Union Cross X.
Ephemera, Lauriam, and Brain are not the imposter(though the latter does acknowledge himself as a virus). This leaves Ven(though chances are he isn't aware of it) and Skuld as the prime suspects. Alternatively, it was none of them. It was Ava.
It’s Laurium. He is the imposter and murderer. The culprit always returns to the scene of the crime, as he did to “search” for Strilezia in the storage room. Also the way the snowfall scene with Ven and Skuld, it could be that they are being gathered by Ephemer and Brain to converse on how to handle Lauriam.
I'm sorry, but there's no way it can be Lauriam. The stuff in parenthesis are his thoughts, not him speaking out loud. (like at 5:36) I highly doubt he knows about the 4th wall, so why would he hide things from us the player when speaking in parenthesis.
I’ve actually been pondering a few new theories lately about it all but I’m too afraid to write them out somewhere cause their more crack theories that are long stretches but crack theories are so much fun! Crack theory = Far fetched and unlikely theory Personally I’m leaning towards Skuld or Ventus. Skuld is so much of a word by mouth character. We just assume what she tells us is true but what If she’s simply a liar? I believe she cares about Player as a friend and Ephemer too but what if when Ephemer left her party she got lonely and sad and therefore open to darkness, open to influence? She might take any ticket that got her back to Ephemer even murder. Same thing nearly can be said for Ventus, it’s obvious he’s pretty lonely and I mean all the evidence for Ven is obvious and laid out. But we still don’t know enough for me to confidently choose. Ephemer though I think the scene where he gets caught by someone could be Luxu, maybe some talk before giving him NoName And passing it down to him or considering him first for NoName I think it’s possible he was originally intended for NoName but may “die” by the end of the game and forcing Luxu to pass it down to someone else. So so so much speculation can be done but still not enough for concrete endgame theorizing. Most theories as of now are based on guesswork and so many of them are so good. Loved the video! Great work both of you! Sorry for the incoherent babbling XD
I think most likely its the "darkness" that killed streletzia after possesing ventus. that way ventus didnt actually (at least consciously)commit the murder but is also the traitor, we know that the "darkness" that eventually goes by the name of vanitas is capable of scheming and has gained access to the book of prophecies. By possessing a naive innocent ven and setting him up to think he is meant to be a leader it would be the perfect plan
There is only one person it could be. Ventus/his darkness aka Darkness. We’ve seen Ava address the membership of the others minus Lauriam, but I really doubt he killed his sister, especially since his whole thing is finding her and he was genuinely happy after regaining his memories in KH3. He’s a red herring. And I doubt they’d show us scenes of Ava promoting leaders just to say, “nope, that didn’t really happen.” Same thing with Brain. I’m still convinced of the theory that he’s an ancestor of Eraqus. Plus, he’s basically Ava’s successor. While he could be a “traitor” in the sense that Ava is a traitor (but not really, since MoM and Luxu seem to have known what she’d do), Brain killing Stralitizia is unlikely as Ephemer and Skuld doing so. Additionally, as stated, Vanitas has now been referred to as Darkness with a capital D several times now. It seems almost too blatant at this point. Remind and every Union X updates in the past year have only added to this. Actually, after Remind, I’m expecting the next Union X update to out Ven. There’s definitely something up with him that hasn’t been revealed yet. Lastly, Ven’s Chirithy and him get a happy ending because at the end of KH3, Ven is a heart of pure light and is still missing (presumably dark) memories, as hinted at by Vanitas’ words in KH3 and Remind.
Yeah i don't think the MOM would've wanted both a brother and sister as union leaders. Make sense that Laurium stole his sister's spot and pretended like he was looking for her.
Its gotta be Ven. Do remember there is a mysterious figure name Darkness and what does Ventus has? Yes Darkness named Vanitas. Why do you think Xehanort chose Ventus instead of the others? Ventus has the greatest darkness inside and meant to be the traitor of the union cross
My money is on Brain. One thing to think about is that Ava should know how to time travel so I don't think the Ava we saw talking to Brain is the same Ava who believed in the master. Plus Her talking to Brain is one of the few times they mentioned Time in this series.
What if the 'darkness' is actually a different person? Not vanitas, but Luxord? He is known as the gambler of fates, and with his apparent ties to darkness (nobodies) I can see him be the murderer. Maybe Luxord and Ven were friends as well, because nomura almost always likes to tie in his characters with another. Luxord is also known to like to control the battle field. If he is the murderer, he could know a little bit of what was in the book, and give it to an unsuspecting person, Ven.
I will admit that since we dont know anything about Luxord, we can't draw concise conclusions. On the imposter side of things, Ven would probably be it, but in my theory he would not know himself. A situation that I can see happening is that Ven was given the book around the time he fled to the other world as a dandelion, as well as luxord who now knew of the world's fate. By saying enough information to Ven, he could convince him to believe Ava gave him the book to give it to him.
This is rough... Its clear Ven never read the book. He was surprised by the Keyblade War. However, I don’t think he killed anybody. If he was shocked about there being a keyblade war and be so against it, why would he hurt someone? In the cutscene they said “he may not even know that he isn’t on the list” I think Ava (or someone imposing as Ava) did tell Ven about the Dandelions. But didn’t give him the script or she gave him something else. Maybe what he was reading had nothing to do with the Keyblade War and that’s why he was so shocked. That’s why he didn’t understand the books. I think he is being set up. Even when Ven had his darkness, his heart was too pure
Feelz bad for Ven. It all points towards him at this point We see Brain and Lauriam doing things that show them not being to blame, especially because of their behavior when they’re alone and unobserved. I highly doubt that it is Ephemer unless he’s not aware of it, since he was chosen and seems shocked at the recent revelation Skuld i heavily believe is subject X, and that that will be her role moving forward. However, that doesn’t mean she’s innocent, cuz we don’t know much about subject X anyway, and she had amnesia too Given the ratio idea between boys and girls, it wouldn’t support her being the imposter, but I can’t say that that’s a strong piece of evidence. she’s my second most probable choice
What if there is no imposter? What if Brain's name either wasn't on the list or was but instead of him being assigned to be a normal Union Leader, he was told by Ava to essentially fill the role that MoM was as the leader of the Union Leaders. Plus seeing as Ava wants to change fate, maybe she was supposed to fill that role but asked him to do it. That would explain why he wasn't on the list MoM gave Ava. But then it'd still leave anyone who could have murdered Strelitzia. Although this theory will still leave the identity of the murderer of Strelitzia still unsolved, it would be an interesting twist.
On the other hand I do like the theory of Ven. He was split into equal parts dark and light. So he did have half darkness in him. But you still might think though his light half might go against it. So I think he somehow got knowledge that if he let Strelitzia live, then something unfathombly terrible would happen. Maybe he somehow got possession of the book of proficies and found out that on top of the 1st Keyblade War happening, that he was there to stop the 2nd one (in KH3) from happening. This knowledge would be in the book because MoM's eye would have seen it through the keyblade that MX had. But when he noticed all of the books had been given out and in turn, he didn't get one, he knew someone was trying to change the future and in fear of the 2nd keyblade war destroying everything and everyone, he thought the only way to ensure the intended future was to take the place of one of the foretellers and take their book and eventually realized that meant having to kill one of them.
I think this is it. Brain was never supposed to be a leader at all, Ava chose him against the master's wishes to try to change fate. But of course handing out these conflicting roles the master has this all planned as well, he knows the traitor is Ava.

Turns out Ven is the imposter.

the true imposter is the friends we made along the way
I wonder if anyone has made fanart depicting the Union Leaders in a Danganronpa Suspect Screen, the kind that appears right before the trial.
I just noticed......brains clothing is a little bit similar to sora’s kh 3 outfit
Ephemera, Lauriam, and Brain are not the imposter(though the latter does acknowledge himself as a virus). This leaves Ven(though chances are he isn't aware of it) and Skuld as the prime suspects.

About a week later and it stated who it is. That was fast.
IVE BEEN SAYING THAT LAURIAM WAS PRETENDING TO BE STRELITZIAS BROTER AAAAAALLLLLL ALONG
Ux update today: Ven's name is the one not on the list.
According to an ultimania translation Eraqus is a Blueblood descended from a person from the union cross era Could he be related to Brain?
its very possible. they both look pretty similar
Yeah i don't think the MOM would've wanted both a brother and sister as union leaders. Make sense that Laurium stole his sister's spot and pretended like he was looking for her.

No. Ava killed her to defy MoM and made Brain leader so he can act in a way unexpected to the original plans.
My money is on Brain. One thing to think about is that Ava should know how to time travel so I don't think the Ava we saw talking to Brain is the same Ava who believed in the master. Plus Her talking to Brain is one of the few times they mentioned Time in this series.

It was VEN!
union is the darkkess story
wait, Marluxia was actually ephemer, then who the hell is larxene?
sorry, i meant laurieme, i got confused for a sec
Never thought about multiple imposters 🤔
Ven is the imposter, and vanitas is the one that killed sterletzia
I think that the imposter is either Ven or Ephamera.
Ven is not guilty it is skuld because Brian directly asked for her
