Well all the hints I gathered seem to point that it’s not vanitasWell, I do prefer the 13 darkness theory than darkness is just vanitas more
Well all the hints I gathered seem to point that it’s not vanitas
1. Darkness spoke with Sora within Ventus despite vanitas no longer being part of Ventus
2. Darkness keeps referring to itself as we/us so vanitas isn’t darkness but him being born from darkness makes him a part (or fragment) of This Darkness entity, basically like all the darkness’s inside of people
It's definitely going to be an issue going forward especially for all the people who aren't following UX and make assumptions based on what few elements have been incorporated into the console games. Might be alleviated some once Global gets the quests though.I hope it is like that
I just don't feel comfortable when people automatically assume darkness must means Vanitas
Not necessarily. There being multiple "Darknesses" was a realistic possibility from the start.
I remember from the very first main story quests of the original Browser Chi that Chirithy mentioned there being several "Seekers of Darkness" posing as Keyblade Wielders (dunno if that part was taken over into Unchained/Union X), there was one scene imagined by Player with nine black coats standing against thirteen on the Keyblade Graveyard and there's also the possibility of multiple Dark Chirithys.
There definitely was a traitor though, from the looks of it, and the Master might’ve already known from the get go but never did anything about it, because of the long haul.
Looking at the conversations between the MoM and Luxu, plus Luxu's conversation with Ava, I think the MoM planned for the world to end and the traitor, as part of his plan to defeat the darkness. He said to Luxu that to defeat the darkness 'we will end the world' and thereby 'discard' time and the borders of the world.That's what I'm thinking too. Either it was out of his ability to do something now, OR he could've BUT it would've been pointless, as it wouldn't have changed anything in the grand scheme of things -- delaying the inevitable, basically.
That makes sense to me. In his BBS report, Xehanort does say he felt he and Ventus were 'destined to meet' and it seemed odd that he would think meek and gentle Ventus had enough darkness to serve his purposes for no reason. This is why I've always been throught that Ven's appearance in UX isn't one of Nomura's most wild retcons but that's just me.If there are possible 13 Darknesses like there are seven lights, would that make Ventus the Kairi of the Darknesses, especially if they are in Disney villains like people are making theories of, and we see Xehanort is able to see Darkness from the Queen of Hearts. This is why I think he'll see Darkness when he meets Ventus
I think we will get one relatively soon as the Union leaders chapter is about to end. If I recall correctly we got Back Cover when the mobile App was still unchained X, right right before the Uion leaders chapter begins. If we get Kingdom Hearts 3.5, that'll be the third part of the game, the second being Melody of Memory.UX desperately needs a Back Cover.
It’s as you say, it’s most likely a War of Attrition. Honestly, what I want to understand is his motive. Why is he dealing in absolutes like Eraqus, forcing a plan that would eradicate the Darkness rather than accepting it as a coexistence with the Light? Did he suffer some sort of trauma? Was it dogmatic influence? Hypnosis?(Wall of Text)
Let me answer that question with another question, or rather, add on to it.Let's return to that old question: How did this Darkness know that Strelitzia is one of the new leaders? Isn't the most likely answer now that the Darkness is connected to the Master of Masters (possibly even created by him) and got the information directly from him?
It might have something to do with said "sentient Darkness" latching onto people, as Xehanort in Dark Road says "even completely innocent people who have no malicious intent at all", like a parasite and using those people as a shield in order to commit atrocities like murder, destroying the current world and generally create mistrust, chaos and strife.Why is he dealing in absolutes like Eraqus, forcing a plan that would eradicate the Darkness rather than accepting it as a coexistence with the Light?

This was the darkness's motive...
Anxiety… Fear… Suspicion… Rage...
To throw our hearts into disarray, and sever the connections between us...

I guess my problem with "Darkness is literally darkness itself" is that I still believe the idea that darkness and light are just forces. Darkness is a really dangerous force, so it's usually used by people who are reckless or let themselves lose out to it, and thus why the antagonists use it. But I don't know if I can like Kingdom Hearts if it comes down to "darkness is literally evil and light is literally good". But I do agree the Darkness characters are the "monsters" from his past that MoM spoke about (as I've guessed in my thread about the unversed symbol).
