The Master of Masters Coat

[Face My Fears]

While rewatching that philosophical bomb that was at the start of ReMIND (honestly I love moments like these in KH, but to start off ReMIND with it was a little too early for my brain to process it lol), I noticed that the Master of Masters' coat had a different zipper than the usual Organization coat. In fact, it seems like the "New Organization" used coats that matched the Master of Masters own (ie had a different zipper from the first Organization XIII). Do you think that this is an intentional design detail or is it just that we're in a HD PS4 world that allows a more detailed design of the coat than just a regular zipper? It's interesting that the design of the zipper matches the Dream Eater symbol. However, it is possible that it's just a design upgrade/retcon because Roxas' coat in KH3 has the same zipper. If we assume that he used the same coat that he had when he was in the Organization, then it's just a design upgrade as his original coat did not have it.

Thoughts?

I don't think it's a different zipper. In the other games the zipper lacked that piece used to pull it (I don't know if that thing has a name), while in KH3 and Back Cover it was added to match X/ Unchained X/ Union X where the coats had it.
Interestingly enough, I remember now that I read some theads long ago where it was stated that the MoM's zipper puller and Luxu's were different, though I never bothered checking it. I don't know if that was supposed to be relevant or just a way to distinguish between the two coated characters.

I think it's because of the HD, but then again I didn't think too much on it. The coats in KH3 feel different in general to the previous ones. Fun fact I use to think the coats in the pre-KH3 games were soft like winter coats. That's why I always wondered if they sweat while doing missions in Agrabah. Then KH3 came along and confirmed they were straight up leather with all their HD beauty. The new engine allows the coats to be more detailed then before. I noticed several coats have the zipper teeth near their necks when in the pre-KH3 games they don't have them at all, such as the Roxas example you gave.

The zipper look like an unversed (or Eraqus & TAV symbol) symbol rather than a dream-eater symbols with the X-blade’s teeth, to me.

I've read theories suggesting that the zipper looks like the MoM's insignia and it also seems to be the emblem present on the Gigas.

What if the black boats originated from Shibuya? Maybe they belong to whoever

Quite possible. It's been explained they can protect you from Darkness, but it's never specified as to [I]how [/I]they can protect you from Darkness. Maybe they're normal coats infused with Darkness and it shields you from Darkness because the coat either absorbs it or reflects it?

Speaking of infusion, it reminds me that the Magitek Troopers of [I]FINAL FANTASY XV [/I]are Daemon-infused machines. The Daemons are sorta like FFXV's Darkness (since they literally turn the world into eternal night). Maybe the Gigas are infused with Darkness? Maybe Yozora's nation is at war with another country and that other country infused weapons with Darkness and is turning the war's tide to their favor? Maybe an ancient evil, like Ardyn, helped the other nation by helping them infuse the Darkness into weapons? Maybe what will help Yozora win is to infuse light into weapons? Maybe this is how the manmade Keyblades were born?

I doubt this is just a graphical Update. The zipper was a different texture back in KH2 as well, it's easy to make that specific texture different. We had small details in character's clothing back in the ps2 era too, Roxas and Ventus outfits are full of them.

As for why Roxas has it as well, it could be because of two reasons: that's the "standart" look the replicas assume when they get a heart if the body wasn't prepared to assume a specific form in advance (like Namine's), or they just reused the model since he's going to use his TT outfit from now on anyways.

I don’t see the resemblance tbh. [Someone ripped out MoM model for the first picture]

I feel like the "new game" that Eraqus was referencing at the end of KH3 may have been Yozora's world. The Foretellers could have been in his worldline and Yozora was the one piece that was opposing them -- in his worldline. It would explain the MoM being there and fulfill something that I suspect is going on: MoM stole that worldline's tech (the coat) and introduced it into the worldline we know for Xehanort to advance the Keyblade War. On the flip side of that, I theorize that Luxord was a spy for Commander Yozora and was trying to get more information on the keyblade (the weapon they all saw the enemies IE Foretellers using) and Luxord ended up in our worldline. He realized that maybe if he brought Sora to Yozora's world, Yozora could borrow the keyblade's power to end the war.

I feel like you're onto something with a big war going on between Yozora and some other nation/group. For some odd reason, I feel like that is Yozora's wordline's version of the Keyblade War... or possibly the alternate way to summon Kingdom Hearts. Remember the MoM making a heart in the moon in Yozora's worldline after Sora/Riku arrive. I mean if you consider Sora/Riku/Kairi/Yozora/Luxord/(the two other people shown in Verum Rex) that will be 7 lights and if your theory is right that the Gigas are infused with darkness, that should suffice to summon Kingdom Hearts in that worldline (which would be interesting to see if that worldline wasn't meant to even have keyblades).

It would be ironic that KINGDOM HEARTS' multiverse is a constant mess of wars with someone from another multiverse trying to interfere in it.
