Dark Road ► KINGDOM HEARTS Dark Road, Chapter 1: Unexpected Departure

[Xickin]

I think we're all forgetting the biggest and most obvious question here: When is literally anybody else going to get Keyblade armour in the main series?

Also, I don't recall, did the traitor specifically mention Foretellers and/or Union Leaders? Cause maybe this could be it? I doubt it but it's a theory.

The more KH media get put out there, the more questions we add to our list and less we feel we understand everything. Nomura really knows how to keep an audience hooked on his game

 

[GreyouTT]

also given the four sets of flowers does this mean the mysterious Baldr still lives..?

Or he's one of them and it's someone else who lived.

I really hope they don't do that. It was OK once, but if we have to keep guessing whom everyone really is it just takes away from the impact of those reveals.

Maybe what killed the classmates was a threat that Zenort chose to fight. Maybe he rallied a team of would-be runners against DARK KEYBLADERS, which explains why they are dead-dead (gravestones) instead of heartless'd.

Remember that DEATH is something that happens when a Nobody or Somebody kills a Somebody.

I don't think any of the modern wielders need it? It's very much a relic of its time, but if anyone were to get armor, then I feel like Riku would be the most likely since he's part of that legacy and tradition.

The traitor was a Foreteller thing. It sort of lived and died with them, and isn't really a factor in the current storyline.

What happens if a Heartless kills you?

What happens if a Heartless kills you?

They don’t really kill you. They take your heart and turn it into another Heartless.

Yeah the more I thought about the more this feels like the time that Lauriam was revealed directly following the death of Strelitizia. This could be a total misdirection.

Another big part of that scene that I feel everyone has been kinda ignoring or not truly processing is the massive amount of gravestones in that graveyard. Like y'all.... that is a lot of deaths. It being a graveyard and all it could be from over a long period of time, but the setting makes it seem like something really bad happened to cause a mass amount o wielders to die which could explain why we see so few in modern day.

Yeah I haven’t seen that brought up much. When I saw the scene the first time, it gave me the impression that something terrible occurred where wielders were killed en masse.

Yes all of the present day wielders need armor. Once Sora returns Yen Sid could give him and the others keyblade armor.

Imagine the gameplay possibilities

Thank you so much for uploading the videos, Sign! I don't play cell phone games so I do really appreciate someone taking the time to upload these and the UX videos.

Interesting start to the series. I'm actually alot more invested than I originally thought I'd be lol.

Spoiler Show

I'm thinking we're left to assume that the deceased are all the new characters but perhaps it's a mixture of lower and upper classmates.

I had an initial thought that maybe the somebodies of Demyx and Luxord were apart of the upper classmen who disappeared and maybe ended up in Verum Rex. However I remembered that Luxu is lingering about somewhere. He could be anyone at this point, such as a maintenance person or someone who just works at the school building, in order to watch over his keyblade. If that's the case, he would have mostly likely remembered seeing both Luxord and Demyx at some point. Unless their somebodies were really young and they just looked different as they aged.

As previously mentioned by user Eonstar, that is definitely a crapton of graves. There's something else going on here that we're not seeing. My memory is a little fuzzy, but there was some concept art of Scala posted here that had an abyss containing what resembled a throne beneath the city. Is there perhaps like a slumbering darkness somewhere that resulted in Scala being flooded/destroyed? Maybe keyblade wielders are being sent off to battle this thing to prevent it from being awakened? Or maybe they're being sent as sacrifices in order to awaken it? I'm probably reading into that too much but having that amount of graves raises some questions.

If you really zoom in, you can actually see words engraved on the tombs.

KH Collection on Switch *COUGH, COUGH*

No one may need it. But everybody NEEDS it

Days remake deserves one too

 

[Ballad of Caius]

I'm gonna suggest another thought:
What if the graves belong to the Foretellers, minus Ava? For all we know, the story of the Lost Masters could only reference those that went along with the MoM's plan.

 

[Vanitas666]

I'm surprised they used actual grave stones, wasn't SeC filled with memorials fucking everywhere?
Guess those are older, from the keyblade war no doubt.

Perhaps, but I kinda doubt it. I believe they perished in the Keyblade War in KHUX. I do really hope that the graves belong to Xehanort's friends. I just don't want to keep reading into every little piece of plot element. The initial feeling I got was that they belong to his friends, and DR will literally show us how we get to that point and how it shapes Xehanort. SE likes to make you feel bad for the villain by giving sad backstories

I mean, I don't wanna push the Foreteller thought, but due to the proximity of the graves, I think they're symbolic and don't actually harbor bodies.
