That's probably the best suggestion pertaining to Demyx I've heard so far. Either that, or that he can still summon his keyblade but chooses not to, assuming he's a wielder. But I like your idea more.
Thank you for thinking so. <3
If we go with him still remembering, then he'd know he has a Keyblade so could theoretically still summon it, if he really is a wielder that is.
The fun part is this doesn't need to be exclusive to my second thing (Demyx being a random dude caught in the UX plot out of bad luck.) Demyx could be so under the radar that not even the plot noticed him!
Man, it's tricky. After reading this I got replies going in every direction.
On one hand, that's not a crime and can be used to link stuff up and reduce the narrative burden.
On the other hand, I feel like a character such as the MoM should just be a separate character, especially considered how many more characters in the franchise (including the Mom's closest apprentice) already make use of alternative identities. Nomura needs to let some characters go and never come back, also to slim up the roster.
I can't even look at Eraqus and Xehanort ascending to Keyblade heaven without that nagging feeling they'll come back...
What we have seen of Demyx and like about would just be taken away if he was the MoM. It benefits both of them if they're separate characters and not a cheap twist.
Darkos has three hands confirmed.
(I'm not saying this to *explain* it to you, of course. This is all stuff we've been going through over and over, and we're all pretty disgruntled about it lol)
And we shall continue to be disgruntled. As is tradition.
And yet... I don't know, the more I think about it the more I see it happening. I can totally see Nomura writing a scene in which you see Demyx's face under the MoM's hood and using his "You shouldn't judge anyone by appearance" line from KH II as a "hint" of his true identity.
And the more I watch Back Cover the more I see a resemblance between MoM and Demyx's gestures, especially when feigning fear and surprise.
Man... it's happening. Here I say it. DeMoMyx is coming.
Not helping is Demyx's "I am extremely imposing...when I want to be" line from KHIII.
I fear it so much, but a part of me feels it won't happen
because they act alike. That it's an accidental big red herring. Like, I just can't see Nomura working toward a reveal, ya know?
What other big secret could Demyx have that could top being MoM? Unless of course he is secretly the Master of the Master of Masters
