Hey, everyone. Just wanted to pitch in with something I noticed recently while replaying ReMIND, and as I was watching the scene between Young Xehanort and the Master of Masters, I noticed something that seemed to weaken the theory that Sora could be the MoM. Now, keep in mind that this argument is far from air-tight, and I am biased since I think the Sora=MoM idea is a TERRIBLE idea (unless it's an alternate version of Sora who never met his friends or whatever—I just don't see the Sora we know ever turning into a manipulative megalomaniac, and any attempt to make that so would be really hackneyed and forced), so take what I'm saying as just a potential clue.
So, when the MoM tells Xehanort his true name, Xehanort reacts, and a lot of people have speculated that it's because Xehanort recognizes the name, and that the name he spoke was "Sora." But, in the very next scene, when it cuts to Master Xehanort 75 years later, he explicitly says that he "never learned who he was, and perhaps I never will." Now, if the name MoM had told to Xehanort way back when was the same as the name of the young Keyblade wielder that Xehanort had by now spent years fighting against in some form or another—a Keyblade wielder who had by then become the center of his attention and the greatest obstacle to realizing his long-sought ambitions—then wouldn't it be pretty ridiculous for the old man not to put two and two together?
Now, there's a fairly obvious answer to this, which is that, if MoM were Sora, he could have just given Xehanort a different name—perhaps Sora changed his name when he became the MoM. This is far from implausible. But, it's not exactly super-likely, either.
Anyway, I just wanted to throw that little bit of information out there, as it seems to work against what has quickly become one of the fandom's most salient theories regarding the MoM, and I personally hope it pans out to be proof that the theory is wrong. Tell me what you guys think.
