Just finished Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix and I'm so confused by the secret ending! Argh!!!
Don't mind me, I'm just jotting down all the things I noticed.
Secret Boss battle
- Secret boss to Sora: You weren't the one I chose
- Aqua and Ven = names of the other two keyblade users in the first secret ending
- Secret boss got angry at Xehanort
Secret Ending #1
- keyblade user with brown hair (secret boss) chose Sora's keyblade
- keyblade user with yellow hair chose Riku's keyblade
- keyblade user with purple hair (female) chose Mickey's keyblade
- Master of Keyblade
- The Lost Two
- Memory of Xehanort
- Chasers
- Keyblade War
Secret Ending #2
- Old evil bald dude with red eyes and pointy ears killed KB user witih yellow hair (Ven)
- Ven and KB user with purple hair (Aqua) = possibly lovers from the way they were gazing at each other's eyes before Ven died
- Old evil guy's lackey was wearing KH1!Ansem's outfit
- Ven looks like Roxas (or Sora with blonde hair) *____*
- Old evil bald dude changed his keyblade to an energy ball that activated Kingdom Hearts
- KB user with brown hair, his eye colour changed to yellow after he witnessed Ven's death
New Footage
- Aqua's armour and keyblade (and possibly her body) are locked/hidden away inside Xemnas' secret lab
After thinking about it for the entire evening, my thoughts are all jumbled up. But this is what I have so far...
Kairi = Aqua's "descendant"
I read from
shirochronicle's LJ that Kairi's name means "sea". And because they're both females. (Yeah, I know this sounds weak but I'm trying to pierce everything together aimlessly. XD)
Sora = Ven's "descendant" (supposedly, before things went screwed)
Mostly because of their appearances. The eye colour matches, hairstyle matches and they both have an incredibly small build. Also, if Aqua and Ven really are lovers, that would sorta fit Kairi and Sora as well. And I read from somewhere that "Ven" means "wind", which would fit, seeing as "Sora" means "sky".
Riku = Keyblade user with brown hair's (secret boss) "descendant"
I'm basing this on the secret boss' comment to Sora, that Sora wasn't the one he chose and then he got angry at Xehanort. In KH1, both Sora and Riku could wield Sora's keyblade, so Riku could possibly be a candidate. But at the end, the keyblade chose Sora, possibly because Riku was tainted by Xehanort's darkess (or rather Xehanort's Heartless, KH1!Ansem's darkness).
Keyblade Master = I'm guessing they're referring to the old evil bald dude. Because throughout both games, the keyblade was referred to as something evil? (I remember Ariel's dad, forgot his name, was very unwelcoming to Sora simply because of his keyblade?)
Xehanort = possibly the KB Master's lackey, which was a spawn from the KB master. (In the second secret ending, the KB master/old evil bald dude's image split into two and one of them became the lackey.) I'm basing this on their appearance as well. Both the KB Master and Xehanort have red eyes and pointy ears... sorta. And also, Xehanort's Heartless was wearing the lackey's outfit in KH1.
But that would sorta make sense, that the secret boss got angry at Xehanort (or his Heartless), his enemy, for screwing around with Riku and messing up with the "chosen" descendants.
In the second secret ending, there were also quotes that say something like the "truth of the seal" (badly translated because I can't remember what exactly it said) and also something like "destiny is not always a coincidence" (once again badly translated because I can't remember the exact quote).
So... my guess is, the KB user with brown hair went into the equivalent of Seed mode when his eyes turned yellow and "sealed" the KB Master into a long sleep after Aqua and Ven died. At the same time, he also did something to make the KB Master's lackey (Xehanort) lose his memories. And if Riku, Sora and Kairi really are the descendants of the secret boss, Ven and Aqua, the quote about destiny not being a coincidence would fit the aforementioned trio.
("The Lost Two" is probably Aqua and Ven, who both died during the Keyblade War.)
And in the first two games, Xehanort was trying to revive Kingdom Hearts to awaken the KB Master, who is probably the ultimate evil of the third game.
That would also explain why the Orgnization XIII members kidnapped Kairi, if she really has something to do with Aqua, whose body/remains are locked away in Xehanort's secret lab.
Things I expect to see in Kingdom Hearts 3:
- The old evil bald dude (the KB Master) being the "main boss"
- Riku being controlled by the KB Master because KH1!Ansem (Xehanort's Heartless) is still inside Riku's body. So that leaves Sora off to fight alongside with Donald and Goofy since Kairi can't fight, yet.
- Keyblades = eeeeevvvviiiillllll
Things I can't quite pierce together
- Where does Mickey fit in? ;____;
- What are Chasers? (And no, I'm not talking about quidditch. XD)
- Why was Aqua's remains found in Xehanort's secret lab? And was Aqua the "experiment" Xehanort was trying to get approval on in the flashback (the one with Xehanort walking in during Ansem the Wise and Mickey's conversation)?
- What the heck triggered the Keyblade War?
- Supposedly, Sora's keyblade is of the light element, Riku's keyblade is a mixture of the light and darkness element, and Mickey's keyblade is from the realm of darkness. How does that relate with the secret boss, Ven and Aqua?
- AND WHAT THE HECK IS KINGDOM HEARTS???
Hmm... anyone know when Kingdom Hearts 3 will be out? Maybe I should start stalking Japanese KH sites instead of sitting in front of my PS2 trying to figure out what's going on using my imaginations.
And HA! I didn't fangirl for Axel/Roxas in this post, not one bit! *feels proud* XDDDD
