Wow. It has been quite awhile since I had made Thread on KHI, much less a KH theory, but that’s justified since there was a KH news shortage for quite awhile. Now, I’m back and more thoughtful than ever. Now, let’s talk about the BbS Unknown, an entity I haven’t heard much talk about lately, although I haven’t been on KHI for quite a while.
He seems to have powers over time, and various other techniques used by the final bosses of the series. What we need to know is his identity, but there is very little info on the MF that we all keep drawing a blank. The MF’s identity isn’t the only thing we have to solve. We also might need to figure out how the MF got the powers that he did, how he survives, and his role Nomura gave him to play. However, I might have found some connections that will help us figure out the MF’s identity with what we have at the moment. This theory may seem to be a bit of a shot in the dark, but it does keep up with the consistent patterns that have occurred throughout the series.
Let’s start with the abilities of our emphatic entity:
- Mega Flare, the ultimate magic command in BBS (or at least in the Japanese version) and a Magic Sleight Sora used in CoM
- Raging Storm, the magic command exclusive to Aqua in BBS, and a magic Sleight Sora used in CoM
- Tornado, another magic spell
- Doom, yet another magic spell
- X-Blade attack
- Time Magic
- Etc.
From this, and the No Name Keyblade, we can assume that MF is an avid magic user. Now, who do we know who seems to excel in magic and who had some sort of connection or preference to the X-Blade? The candidate… is none other than MX himself. After all, Nomura did say that the MF had ties to MX, although we don’t know what sort of ties. Plus, in the Re: Coded secret ending, Yen Sid even states that we might have to Xehanorts running around.
Now, assuming that the MF is a part of Xehanort isn’t that bit of a stretch. However, I’m not saying that the MF is MX’s Nobody like the majority keep spewing out. What I am going to spew out is that Xehanort might not have been the original whole being that Eraqus was once friends with.
Think of what MX says in his letter to Eraqus…
Why would Eraqus forgive MX so easily? Even MX is shocked at this. Plus, Eraqus thought MX let go of that X-Blade fantasy, even though Eraqus should have known better. Eraqus even attacks his former classmate as if Eraqus doesn’t believe that MX is who he claims to be, but that his friend is being controlled by some other being. There is only one explanation to this… This “Xehanort” truly is not the same man Eraqus knew, or at least not entirely. Another piece of evidence is that Xehanort means “No Heart” and “Another”.
What does this have to do with MF? Actually, it has quite a lot to do with him. I actually believe that the MF is the suppressed essence of the original being of Xehanort. So I can avoid referring to the original being with terms like “The Original Xehanort” and “The Original MF”, I’m going to call him Xine, which is Enix spelled backwards so as to compliment the name Eraqus.
Now, let’s start with how Xine ended up becoming Xehanort, and why the MF exists. The answer to this can be found with Xehanort’s obsession with the X-Blade and the apparent obsession with a balance between light and darkness. I say that while Xine also had an obsession with the X-Blade, Xine was the being that truly wanted a balance between light and darkness, unlike MX who only used that as an excuse to get Terra to help him and become his vessel. Thus, I assume that Xine tried to forge the X-Blade himself.
However, as one might expect, this did not work. Why? Form the Xehanort Reports, Xine stated the following:
Due to this, when Xine split his heart into one of light and one of darkness, just like MX did with Ventus and Vanitas, the dark half of Xine’s Heart overtook the light half. Instead of making the X-Blade, this allowed the dark half of Xine to become dominate and it underwent the gusie of “Xehanort”. However, unbenoist to Xehanort, the light half of Xine lived within Xehanort’s Heart as the MF. Due to this, Xehanort’s “Guardian” was given a Heartless-like appearance. This also explains why the MF has an X-Blade attack.
Now you might want to ask what Xehanort’s Guardian has to do with all of this, and how come MF could appear and fight TAV with time related powers. Well, let’s just say that the appearance of both Xehanort’s Guardian and the MF was achieved using the same method: Astral Projection. Basically, astral projection is the art of a spirit temporarily leaving the body to go to another place, world, or time. This is why MF seems to have powers over time. In reality, MF is just projecting himself in a different time, and apparently rewinds time by traveling to another point in time to rest, and then going to an earlier moment in TAV’s time. This is actually similar to when Riku projected himself to Kairi while being controlled by Ansem SoD in the first game.
Now, as to why MF traveled and fought TAV, it is because he saw the fight between Xehanort and those three through the eyes of MX. When Terra and Ventus got taken over, and the X-Blade was forged, it seems like MX had won. Thus, MF went back in time to attempt to destroy the three wielders. This murderous intent is reflected in MF’s battle theme, “Dark Impetus”. I thank KH-x-3 for starting the thread titled “Birth by Sleep MF Fight Music – “Dark Impetus””, which helped pitch the idea for MF’s malicious intent.
I wouldn’t say that MF’s reasoning for wanting to do this is necessarily evil though. In fact, destroying TAV could accomplish quite a bit. If that happened, MX would be unable to forge the X-Blade with Ventus and Vanitas, MX wouldn’t have Terra’s body as a vessel for himself, and Vanitas couldn’t use Aqua for a backup plan. However, MF ended up being beaten by the three, and from there on, all MF could do was hope that this fight prevented MX from forging the X-Blade and taking over Terra’s body. It didn’t work.
Now, I shall explain why Xehanort’s Guardian is using Astral Projection to make himself appear. From what we see when Aqua enters Terranort’s Heart, we don’t see Xehanort guarding Terra, but rather the Guardian. This leads me to believe that Xehanort’s “Guardian” is the actual form of Xehanort when outside his body. Another thing to support this is that whenever you face Ansem SoD, the Guardian is usually doing the work and launching the attacks. This could also be why MX needed Terra to unleash his darkness before he could take over the body. His existence depends on darkness, just like the "Guardian" is a being of darkness.
I also believe that Xehanort (as a “Guardian”) and MF each have a role in influencing Ansem SoD and Xemnas respectfully, but I’ll put that in a separate post in this thread. Until then please read and review.
EDIT: Can someone please reply? I can't post the Xemnas thing if no one responds to this. That would be double posting.
